Anyone know where I can get a KML of US urban areas with a population of 15k+?

  • not without doing some legwork. you can stitch that together from us census data – albert Aug 05 '16 at 16:13
  • Doesn't geonames.org have something like this (for all cities over a given site and then reduce to just USA), or are you asking something different? Polygons? –  Aug 06 '16 at 23:43

Have you see Natural Earth Data Urban Areas? You can convert the .shp file to .kml with ogr2ogr -f KML ne_10m_urban_areas.kml ne_10m_urban_areas.shp.

Not sure about the population sizes that mark these as "urban" areas.
