How big is the metro/city/town/whatever in which you live? - Page 3

**DaFace** · 03-26-2008, 09:29 AM

RustShack's Salina thread gives me the impression that a lot of people around here are somewhat against living in a "small town." That got me wondering about what kinds of places people on here live. So the question is, how big (in terms of population size) is the place where you live?

If you don't know, here are some places that could help.

For those who consider yourself to live in a metro area:

For those who live in a "city" or "town":

Orlando City - 213 and some change
Greater Orlando - 1.9 mil - 27th largest metro area.

That was according to the wiki - census 2006. I know that number has grown a lot since then.

That's not a good trend.

3,957. I was way off, I thought we were above 10,000, although that was from 2006 and we are one of the top 5 fastest growing towns in Ohio IIRC.

I dated a chick from Larkspur for a while, which is near Castle Rock. She went to Douglass County High School in the mid-80's.

For some reason, I remember there being a lot of hotties in that area.

Population 2006 - 41,085.

Which 4 do you count as actual restaurants??? Number one on our list is the Anchor Inn.

Oklahoma City Metro Area 1,172,339
Kansas City Metro Area 1,967,405 while growing at a larger rate, higher population, and a newer and better stadium isn't getting an NBA team while those douchebaggers from OKC are.

I hate you Clay Bennett.

BigVE · 03-26-2008, 04:07 PM

I should have checked a bit closer before I voted in the poll. My village only has about 2000 people in it...most people you ask around here say 3000. 2000 seems about right.

**noa** · 03-26-2008, 04:13 PM

I live in Manhattan (not KS), where the population is 1.5 million, but when you add in the other boroughs and surrounding areas...

Tulsa is less than 100 miles from OKC and has about the same population.

I live in a small town of 7000, just outside of Akron. Not a suburb.
