It doesn’t have an NFL team, an NBA franchise or the world’s largest single-day sporting event.

But Columbus, Ohio, now has something to lord over Indianapolis.

Ohio's capitol city overtook Indianapolis in 2016 to capture the No. 14 spot on the list of America’s 15 Most Populous Cities.

Columbus edged Indianapolis out of the 14th spot by 4,329 people, according to new population estimates released today by the U.S. Census Bureau.

The Top 15 list is topped by New York City with a population of 8.53 million.

Los Angeles (3.98 million), Chicago (2.7 million), Houston (2.3 million) and Phoenix (1.6 million) round out the top 5.

The report put Indy’s population at 855,164 as of July 1, 2016. That estimate represents a more than 73,000 increase from 2000 — and is 34,719 more than counted in the 2010 census.

Columbus, however, has grown at a pace double that of Indianapolis. The number of people calling Columbus home increased by more than 148,000 since 2000. About two-thirds of that growth came between 2000 and 2010.

Since 2010, Columbus outgrew Indy by only 4,926 — but that was about 500 more than it needed to unseat Indy's from the 14th spot on the census bureau's list.

Indianapolis held the 12th spot on the list in 2010, but has since been passed up by San Francisco and Austin, Texas, in addition to our nemesis to the east.
