Comparing the numbers of people living in two cities without considering the sizes of the cities can be misleading because a larger city will naturally have more people than a smaller city. Therefore, just looking at the population numbers without the context of city size can give a distorted view of the comparison. It's important to take into account the population density or per capita metrics to make a more accurate comparison.
