    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 [​IMG])

    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 [​IMG] I guess count the people who live with you [​IMG]

    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.

    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.

    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!

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