Under what range does the population of your home metropolitan area fall?
Entire metro area, not just the city. So if you live in a 10k suburb adjacent to a 2M city, go with the 2M population.

I knew someone was up near Titusville, I just couldn't remember who. Hubby and his father will be staying there this weekend and will be going to the Daytona Race. Lucky SOBs, they only have two tickets. Been tempted to just go up there and hang out in the hotel and the city, but I dunno.

Anywhoo, I live in Coral Springs (as of 2007: 126,875), which is about 20 miles from Ft. Lauderdale (as of 2007: 183,606) and is part of the South Florida Metropolitan area (West Palm, Broward & Miami Dade counties).

Yep.

I grew up in the Thumb of Michigan, where the biggest city in my county only had about 2300 people. So when someone refers to a city of 50k-100k as a "small town", I think it's odd because that would be bigger than any city in the Thumb.

I know what you mean. I've been where people think the population of 30,000 is small. Yet I've lived in a town of right around 5,000 that didn't think itself that small because 30 minutes north was a town with under 2,000.

Though I live withing the Metro area, Titusville is actually on the other side of the county from me(And given that the county is pretty tall...).

Also, Michigan tends to give the "city" status to much smaller communities than other states do. Many Michigan cities only have 1000 people or less, and there's one (Omer) with like 400 people.

I m not sure why. Maybe some were larger and then shrunk, but that many? Then again, it is Michigan, with all its unemployment, and there could have been old logging camps and such that were much bigger when a lot of trees were around unprotected.

D-town in PA is a typical suburban area/wasteland. Like 10k-50k people at best, but I don't care bout that sort of stuff.

The area I was born was a pretty small town. It was really peaceful, but I suppose that was because nearly 70% of the residents were over the age of 60

The community consists of 4,945 residents.


Sometimes I'd like to go back there. Visit there every summer though, so looking forward to it!

About 8 million people in NYC, and I'm just one of 'em.

Big place, this city. Kinda scary sometimes. <<;

Medford, Oregon had around 77,000 people in 2008, so I'd imagine it close to 80,000 now. The county (Jackson) had 205,000, also in 2008.

On this map:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/02/Oregon_population_map_2000.png

I'm in the reddish concentration in the middle near the bottom of the map, nestled about 25 miles north of the Oregon/Calif border. You can kinda see where Interstate-5 runs straight north towards Portland from us, most of the population centers are hugging it. Medford manages to keep the city footprint down (when sensibility gets elected) so we have a lot of fairly untouched woodland and forest areas close by. I take a great deal of pride in that.

1M-10M here... I live in Mesa, AZ but it's a sister city to Phoenix, which as of the last census is the 5th largest city in the nation. Phoenix is home to 1.6M people, but that count is far greater with all of its contiguous sister cities.

I love in the Detroit MPA so I voted 1M to 10M.

The city I live in specifically only has a population of 17,312 (2000 census) though. It is the county seat, and has the court house and we occasionally get some big trials here! Nice little suburban place with a nice downtown.

Aha, Boing, you live in the city in which I was born

I only lived there for a few months, though.
