But the Largest US Cities are generally not on the coast (which does not 
make your statement wrong).

1. New York City
2. Los Angeles
3. Chicago
4 Houston
5 Philadelphia
6, Phoenix
7. San Antonio

In fact, if I list the top 20, there is a very small number on the coast.

There is a large "tech" population in California, I will give you that 
much.

If you want to hit the largest population (east coast) with the smallest 
average travel distance, you pick the middle of Ohio (Columbus, Ohio).

I think that what you really want is:

1. Easy / cheap air fare to the location
2. Affordable lodging and food

What I have not bothered to figure out if (1) means you want to choose 
an airline's hub city, which increases the odds that you will have a 
direct flight, or, if you want a city that is not a hub since the 
airline often charges more for direct flights. I remember considering 
leaving from Detroit Michigan to fly to Florida, but, it was cheaper for 
me to use a connector into Detroit before getting on that same flight to 
Florida.
