What is the population of the city you live in?

[StrawberryMeadow]

Please tell me I'm not the only one google maps stalking all your tiny towns?!

I'm literally fascinated.... so late for going out my OH is raging downstairs, and I'm STILL googling MORE OF THEM!!!!!

Living in Brisbane, over 2 million people. I love this city but I've not got much to compare it to, I've always lived in the same general area since I was 2 years old. Stick to the suburbs close to the city on the south-side, I can count on my fingers how few times I've gone to the north-side!
Traveled here and there about Australia, been on a family trip to Europe, but I'm happy where I am (I just wish I could afford my own place without having to move so far out)
I was born in Newcastle though which has a population of just over 250,000 people.

 Even worse...my sisters live in Contact, NV. Population: my sisters. Haha.

I'm sorry I don't mean to sound like a psycho, but I looked on Google and..... I don't..... How come they live out there on their own? Is it to do with work?

Tell me to go away if I'm being too nosey, I'm just a noseyfaced English girl!

mine is a good old fashioned english country town
altho its getting more &more full of 'townies' since the newer estates started popping up ten years ago   i'm a country bumpkin and my town was very rural when we first moved here in '81 (i was a whopping five years old back then...) and its changed soooo much in those 30ish years.

and to anyone else who google mapped all these towns, i did the same to my partner's addresses in the arena card swap   it was freaking AWESOME to see where everypony lived, nothing stalking about it at all, its just being sheer, downright nosy  lol

LOL, I haven't done any Google-mapping, but it does sound like fun! I like looking at maps and seeing where things are in relation to each other. And there have been times when I was bored and had some free time, so I Google street-viewed towns and cities all over the world. It's kind of fun to take a virtual "walk" through someplace you'd probably never see otherwise.

I live in Phoenix, AZ. Google tells me there are 1.489 million people here as of the 2012 census.

I like the valley, there's lots of options for shopping and things to do, but I wish it wasn't so spread out. I feel like this is the most sprawling city ever. Everything seems so far away!

I live in Phoenix too! And I totally agree about the sprawling. It's great cuz there is lots of stuff, but it is a 20 minute drive to anything xD haha. Or a 60 minute drive from my house to my moms Dx.

Hello, fellow Phoenician! It's always fun to meet someone else who hails from the Valley of the Sun.

I wouldn't call this a city, but this small town, called Kajaani, where I live in is a mid sized town/city in terms of Finland and its population is just under 38,000.

I love Portland.  And yes, it's exactly like Portlandia and Leverage. My boyfriend works across the street from their "headquarters" which is in the Bridgeport brewpub!

... how big is this city? I'll have to Google before I vote

[Woosie]

My address say's Vidor, TX as that is the nearest "large"  town with a post office (population is a little over 10,000 people) but I live outside of any city limits in Orange county TX and the nearest city to me is called Pine Forest (where I grew up and has less than 500 people).  I lived in Houston, TX (population over 2 million) for around 10 years while going to college and afterwards when I got a good job there, but have since left the big city and moved back to my childhood home.

177,326 in 2010, had to Google my town, lol, because I had no idea! This is a university city so I think the count is a bit higher in the wintertime than it is in the summers. But in the summertime we get a lot of tourists.

Haha xD. Well they used to live in Jackpot, NV. Which is a tiny town a few miles away. There isn't a lot of houses in jackpot. Mostly apartment complexes or trailers.  But their mom (half sisters) found some land with a house and barn and such in Contact. So they bought it. Lol. They have four wheelers and like to hunt and such, so living out there isn't bad for them. And Jackpot (where they work/school) is only about a ten minute drive.

According to Google, 19,401. That's oddly specific. I guess I'm that -1-. ;P

I live in a college town, though, and I don't think the census is counting the nearly 7,000 students here who are driving around and running over people in the roads (seriously -- the traffic in this town is significantly more dangerous than the infamous nearby city of Atlanta).

Ooh, I just looked up Contact, NV, too. It looks like a really cool place to live (well, at least for a would-be hermit like me). I'm looking at some pictures and I can't help but think that the creators of the game "Fall Out: New Vegas" must have used Contact as a visual model for the game.

Our pop. is 420 as of 4 years ago. We are so small, we don't have a library, schools, etc!
