How big or small

[Vampiro69]

I was curious about where we all live. Also, for some bizarre reason I was curious if I lived in the smallest town out of all of us.

 

I currently live and teach in a town of 1,100 people. I was curious where everyone else lived at.

[MarvinisaLunatic]

You know, I was suprised when I did a search to find that 3,000 people live where I do. I think they must have counted the chickens and cows. I mean, we have a post office, fire dept and a gas station and thats it. No traffic lights, which is always the sure sign of small town america.

Well, our town has a ridiculous amount of amenities for a town of 719 (according to the last census). Then again, we are a getaway destination, so a four-star hotel in our town might not be that befuddling.

[Craig Th]

The town I live in now in Long Island has 28,000 people. The town I grew up in CT had a population of 5,500. Hell, I graduated with 60 people so it was a very small town.

Have a look

 

I grew up in neighboring huntington, which has one high school for the entire county. Probably 18-19 thousand people there, but it's as hillbilly factory town as it gets.

About 800,000 in Ottawa proper, over 1.1 million in the metropolitan area.

[Red Baron]

18,500 in the last census in Port Colborne.

 

About 10,000-11,000 are senior citizens.

[snuffbox]

667.00

[treble]

20,000. Big enough for most major chains (deparment stores, fast food, etc.), but there's still not much to do here. Finally got a movie theatre in the summer after about 5 years without one, even if it is only 6 screens and doesn't seem to get much besides big budget movies.

 

On the plus side, Ottawa (1 hour), Montreal (2 hours) and Toronto (3-4 hours) are all within a days drive.

Really? I thought Brockville was bigger than that for some reason. It seems almost comparable to Belleville, which is twice that size.

[Guest Princess Leena]

1.5 million in the city. Over 4 million in the area.

[nl5xsk1]

A little under 32,000 people.

 

And according to wikipedia, which I used for the information above, my current hometown "is gay".

[Guest]

Some 100,000 in the city, about 10 million in the area, at least.

[kkktookmybabyaway]

According to this place, which has some other info, too, 29,123.

[Star Ocean 3]

 

1.8 million in the Valley

4 million in the city of L.A.

[Murmuring Beast]

1,168,270 in Greater Glasgow apparently. 585,090 in real Glasgow. I'm in real Glasgow.

[k thx]

Bristol (where I live): 398,300

Portsmouth (where I'm from): 189,000

[EVIL~! alkeiper]

Pocono Pines, PA: 1,013

[vivalaultra]

Houston-2,106,582 in the city as of the 2005 census; 5,280,077 in the metroplex. 4th biggest city in the US.

[The Amazing Rando]

My little college town - 8,107.

 

Fun fact - "Lefty" Grove is buried in our town cemetary (he was born about 10 minutes south of here).

The sign says 21,000, I think, but last I heard it was down a bit from that. We're the smallest of the 'bigger' cities on the 401 once you get a few hours out of Toronto (Belleville, Kingston, Cornwall) before the Quebec border.

I haven't really read that sign on the 401 in ages, even though I pass by it several times a year.

[Youth N Asia]

Flint, Michigan, as of the 2000 it was 124,471. But with the automakers dying here it's getting less and less

[NoCalMike]

Sacramento. It is a big, little city. It is growing rapidly, but mostly in population and not so much jobs-wise. A lot of people are ditching their high-priced property or rental units in the bay area to come live in Sacramento and/or the outlying suburbs of Sacramento. We seem to be at the crossroads right now where the city has the space and wants to grow, while at the same not lose the smaller city appeal. One thing for sure is that we need better management in charge of our roadways and public transit system. It is horrible, and for a "smaller" city the freeways are always horribly jammed. It seems everything was built so close to highways that there is no room to widen anything.

I think I give us too much credit calling Brockville a bigger city. Everyone know about Kingston and most people have heard of Belleville and Cornwall, but it's tough finding too many people from a few hours away who've heard of this place.

[King Kamala]

About 65,000 in the city itself and probably around 100,000 in the metropolitan area.

[Guest Smues]

265,000 is apparantly the estimated pop here.

[Lord of The Curry]

Mississauga, 6th largest city in Canada. Well up in the millions.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh]

The town I grew up in CT had a population of 5,500. Hell,

 

Eh, I found that funny.

 

31,000 here.

[USC Wuz Robbed!]

El Cajon, CA: 92,487 as of July 2005.
