According to the United States Census Bureau, the City of Chicago has a total area of .  of it is land and  of it is water. The total area is 2.94% water. The city has been built on relatively flat land, the average height of land is 
above sea level. The centroid (geographical center) of the city is at , southeast of 28th and Leavitt Streets in an industrial area near the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal. (Before annexations in the 1950s, notably for O'Hare International Airport, references placed the geographical center near 37th and Honore Streets.) Chicago, along with New York City and Los Angeles, California are the three most populous cities of the U.S., yet Chicago is only half the other two cities' individual land areas. Chicago's nickname, "The Windy City," actually acquired from a political op-ed piece, fits the city well as its location on Lake Michigan moderates the climate and often provides a breeze.
