What is the population of your town?

[Ardent15]

Mine is around 130,000.

[Sanity Claws]

1. 8 million

I think you can figure out the town.

[Ardent15]

9. Wasilla, Alaska

Right? ;)

[Sanity Claws]

21. You even spelled it right!

Let me go look for a gold star to give you.

[tavalon]

39. One of my husband's girlfriend's is from Wasilla

She filled us in on the local gossip, I tell ya! She didn't like it much when I went after the "Baby ain't her's" direction when the whole mess started, but I told her, the media isn't doing their job, I'm leading them to the blood in the water so they'll investigate the whole of Sarah Palin. It worked.

Wasilla seems like a bit of a Peyton's Place meets Northern Exposure by her telling. Of course, she seems to like Big Fish stories, so I dunno.

[Motown_Johnny]

53. Ummm...... how many girlfriends do you let your husband have?

[tavalon]

57. He usually self limits

and actually, I realized after I wrote that, that she is his only girlfriend right now.

You asked? ;)

[Posteritatis]

24. Moscow! (nt)

[Sanity Claws]

51. No way --- I'd never live in Idaho.

No offense to Idahoans. I'm sure it has nice qualities; it's just not for me.

[ogneopasno]

2. I live out in the country. But the town on my mailing address has 3,200.

Does yours get a lot of rain and is known for coffee and microbrew?

[stevedeshazer]

23. Well, yeah, but at least someone else pumps my gas.

And the mayor is completely noncontroversial.

Excuse me, but I must go now as I have double-parked my bike in front of a brew pub on some street that is now a character on The Simpsons.

:)

[Arugula Latte]

[get the red out]

18. 2nd largest city in the state

279,044 according to Wikipedia.

[Posteritatis]

22. 300-400K, depending on how you measure (nt)

[mth44sc]

25. around about

10,000

[pipi_k]

26. About 1,300

But probably rises to 1,400 or so in the summer when the New York people come in.

(I'm in one of the small towns along the Jacobs Ladder Trail)

[tosh]

27. 5,000.

County has 8,000.

[NeedleCast]

28. Roughly 6 million

D.C. metro area.

[WyLoochka]

[Beaverhausen]

30. 104,000 surrounded by 9 million more in the county

[Qanisqineq]

31. 3 million

Give or take. But I grew up in a town of 900.

[Canuckistanian]

32. 9.000 souls

[tularetom]

We don't live in no steenking town. The town where se keep a PO Box is about 30 miles away and has a population of 75,000 or so.

[Mari333]

37. 5000. nt

[ikojo]

38. St Louis City has approximately

350k...the metro area (spread far and wide) has approximately 1.5 million

[NuttyFluffers]

40. currently, 10.5 mil city , 24.5 mil metro

density: 44,600 per square mile

[conscious evolution]

48. You win

Thats a lot of people.
Where?

[Terran]

78. Wow, where do you live?

I'm guessing either Mexico City or Seoul; no US city has numbers like that.

Interesting Wiki article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_population

[NuttyFluffers]

80. correct, Seoul. surprised that Mexico City is not as dense.

Tokyo is an ocean of a city, that was fun. but checking out the stats i want to see, but already anticipate with foreboding, seeing South Asia's big cities. Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Dhaka... the density is sick. and in Dhaka (roughly around 7 mil) it's at least double the density of here. like walking on top of people to cross the street. mind blowing. imagining Mumbai or Delhi, not as dense as Dhaka, but significantly more dense than Seoul, and a larger population -- throw in heat, dust, and lower standard of living than here, i cannot imagine survival. it sounds like literally a human hell, a rhododendron bush uncontrolled, death by overcrowding.

[Terran]

87. I fear that's the destiny of some cities

Overpopulation is hardly an issue to most in the US, but in some countries I would hope it's a significant concern. At some point there come an end to viability as a city...you can only jam so many people in and expect it to function as a place of civilization.

[Juche]

42. 6000

A walmart and a factory mark the center of town

[last_texas_dem]

43. Around 18,700 at last count

But there's a fair chance we may lose people in the next census count; we were hit by both Hurricanes Rita and Ike, and some of the folks who left decided not to come back.

[dixiegrrrrl]

44. 6,000...we lost about 1.000 since 2004.

and lost 800 jobs in past 3 months, so I think pop. might be going further down.

but 46%of our voting citizens went for Obama !!!!!!!!!
( black pop. is 43 % )

[comrade snarky]

45. Depends on the time of day

Weekdays about 1.3 million, evening and weekends closer to 700,000

If you want to include the metro area a little over 7 million

[tabbycat31]

46. summer or winter?

I live in a tourist trap town and the population triples in the summer.

There were about 2000 voters in the 2008 election, not sure what the exact population is.

[tabbycat31]

47. summer or winter?

I live in a tourist trap town and the population triples in the summer.

There were about 2000 voters in the 2008 election, not sure what the exact population is.

[SoxFan]

49. About 115,000

That's within the city of Manchester itself, not counting neighboring towns such as Bedford, Goffstown. Londonderry, Hooksett, Auburn, etc.

[yellowdogintexas]

50. 702,850 in the city, 1,717,435 in the county,6.1 million in the Metroplex.

but I grew up in a town of 250, in a state that currently has only 4.5 million people. I guess when I was a kid, there were maybe 1.5 million in KY. Anyone know?

[Tsiyu]

52. Not really in a town

Nearest town has around 2,000 maybe?

I like it that way ;)

[liberalhistorian]

54. About 800, give or take

a few. And I can't wait to leave!!!!!!!

[defendandprotect]

55. Small NJ town: about 30,000 plus or minus ...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detroit

[vanderBeth]

58. 1.2 million

6.1 in the metropolitan area

[Veritas_et_Aequitas]

60. 30,000

[provis99]

61. only about 180.

on the bright side, the average age is about 80, so if you're into ancient women, my town is the hoppin' place.

[catnhatnh]

66. My brother (59) "winters" in an over 55 community in Florida...

He loves it...down there he is known as "the hot young guy".

[pipi_k]

she would try to snag him in a minute...

[Horse with no Name]

65. 2200. n/t

[obiwan]

67. Norwalk, California- about 110,000.

[Skidmore]

[PaulRevere08]

71. About 45K and borders on Boston. Governed by Town Council

and Board of Selectman (no mayor).

[ProfessorGAC]

72. 5200

But, we're equidistant from two cities of 140,000 and 65,000. We're just one of those small cities on the fringes of two bigger towns.
GAC

[Trailrider1951]

74. About 1600 people

Maybe 1601, since I moved here. I love my little town, and I only go into Austin to work and shop at the HEB.

[Earth_First]

75. 5,149

[Terran]

76. Around 45,000

Small for a State Capitol.

[azmouse]

77. 4th largest city in AZ... 250,000 people

[madokie]

We are, however, just outside of Chicago (estimated at 2,859,700).

[KamaAina]

88. About 365,000

official figures are hard to come by, since the City & County of Honolulu covers the entire island of O'ahu (and certain outlying islands, making it the largest city on Earth geographically!), thus there is no "City of Honolulu" proper, only a CDP (Census Designated Place).

edit: parens

[taught_me_patience]

89. 3.8mm city and 13mm metro area

City of Angels.

[Nevilledog]

91. Whittier, CA.....about 85,000. (n/t)

ETA: Of course, Whittier's not in the middle of nowhere. It's right on the border of Orange County (3 million) in Los Angeles County (10 million). So we ain't lonely.

[rucky]

92. 20,000

[ThomWV]

93. 647 according to the 2000 census

This would be year round. Summer time it probably doubles. At least.
