Default Jericho's target list as source material.

I realize that the idea of the Soviets of the Twilight:2000 history line using 20kt ground bursts on a mere 22 US cities is a bit absurd, but for the sake of conversation, I plugged the strike list, tonnage yield and other data into Nukemap, and pulled these numbers out regarding casualties:

Seattle - 71180/64530
San Francisco - 52480/146940
St. George - 8,200/11,930
Los Angeles - 59,910/83,780
San Diego - 45,470/33,120
Phoenix - 33,080/23,830
Denver - 62,010/55,270
Lawrence - 7,920/14,740
Houston - 77,380/41,780
Minneapolis - 64,700/64,860
Dallas - 36,550/42,610
Chicago - 184,840/125,580
Detroit - 39,280/30,020
Indianapolis - 44,250/29,520
Atlanta - 53,460/40,060
Miami - 34,610/35,670
Charlotte - 41,650/22,660
Hartford - 29,270/40,460
Boston - 117,800/103,480
Philadelphia - 133,790/116,260
Baltimore - 53,190/65,050
Washington, dc 96,870/123,250
Norfolk - 25,930/24,820

deaths: 1373820
injuries: 1340220

Nukemap doesn't have the granularity to tell us how many might die by dint of being 30 miles downrange in a particularly nasty fallout footprint, and so forth but if we take these back-of-the-envelope numbers to heart, and we consider that DC was the end of any national disaster recovery coordination (bye bye Civil Defense plans), I think we can tack 3/4ths of the "injuries" right onto the "deaths" list as well - initially.
