Cities like Charlotte, North Carolina and Bismarck, North Dakota could be among the group downgraded to micropolitan areas. Under the new proposal, a metro area would be required to have a permanent population of 100,000 or more people.

The changes would not only be symbolic, but city officials worry the move could lessen federal funding and aid.
