How big/small is your town?

[Fierlin1182]

I thought this would be interesting to see. What's the population of the place you live?

My city has about 1,200,000 people in it. (Small by standards these days

)

And if you REALLY live in the middle of nowhere.... well, here's one for you: my friend's "town" recently moved up in population from 9 to 11

I guess count the people who live with you

I grew up in a town of about 2000.

Now where I live, the closest town population (the town that my mail comes from) is 882.

I like it.

 

[Yay Chicks!]

In 2009 it was listed as 21,400. I've been here about 4 years and it's the smallest town I've ever lived in.

The town I live near (I'm in the 'burbs') has a population of 250. I think most of them are retired.

We have 903 people at the last count. Two banks, part time doctor at county clinic. K through 6th grade at one school 7 through 12 at another. One part time vet. A hand full of churches. I love my town just the way it is.

According to the last census, 171 (I think I'm the "1").

 

[runsw/scissors]

Well our community population isn't listed, the nearest community is 883. Although we share a zip code with 2 other communities. Altogether perhaps 1500 people total in all 3 communities...

No banks, no stop lights, no police, 3 churches and 1 liquor store, that doubles as one of 2 stores.

Love it here!

now i'm jealous... I thought my town of 7,232 was small!

 

[eenie114]

In the 2000 census, my hometown had a grand total of.... 287. Oh, yeah.

Looks like Gritty's the only one who's got me beaten so far.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 0.6 square miles (1.6 km2), all of it land.
