The only part of the US that's north of the Arctic Circle is the north 30% or 35% of Alaska.
The outposts of civilization up there are really not what you'd call 'cities' ... there's nothing
to compare to a New York, Chicago, Dallas, or Buffalo.

Anchorage is the state capital, and the largest city in Alaska. (It's about 370 miles outside
of the Arctic Circle.) The population of Anchorage is 301 thousand, and that's more than
40% of the entire state's population ! There's not much left to spread around the portion
of the state that's north of the Circle.

Here are the towns shown on my maps that are just over the line:

Town . . . . . N. of Circle . . . Population 2013
Kotzebue . . . 24 miles . . . . . . 3,201
Kobuk. . . . . . 25 mi . . . . . . . . . . 151
Allakaket. . . . . 1 mi . . . . . . . . . . 105
Fort Yukon . . . 1 mi . . . . . . . . . . 583
Bettles . . . . . 24 mi . . . . . . . . . . . 12
