Where you live

[Parrothead]

Just wondering.

[Mrs Mungo]

Oh, dear. I voted up to 100,000 before I looked it up. It's actually more like 150,000.

[SJ.]

umm... other? ~350,000 which is more than 100,000 but less than 500,000.

 

Time to stop following you around and answering your polls, work to do!

[mommyrooch]

I live in a town where everyone knows everyone. It is probably between 5000-10,000.

[FaithManor]

The boonies of the lower peninsula of Michigan. Nearest city, 47 miles away. City being a loose term though I do think they qualify for that status by population requirements.

 

Our township has only one "town". We live in it. Population 205.

 

Nearest "village" has no department store and only one grocery store - very high priced.

 

Second nearest "village" has the most pathetic Walmart in the history of Walmarts. It has two supermarkets. Walmart and a RIDICULOUSLY high priced store with pharmacy. Lots of mom & pop shops...we try to frequent them as much as possible.

 

It's a big, big deal for most people in our area to go to Detroit, Ann Arbor, Lansing, or Grand Rapids. But, dh and I make Detroit on a fairly regular basis due to business trips for his employer. Big pain in the hiney on winter roads!

Around 3500 residents here. And a castle on the hill. A real one.:D

[creekland]

I'm pretty sure I voted incorrectly. I voted "in a town of less than 1000" but I don't actually live "in a town." Our "township" has roughly 1000 or probably less, but it's not a town. We're the farm area and there are some suburban type developments. Specifically, we're one of the farm folks. I'm thinking that should have been a vote for the boonies, but it doesn't feel like the boonies. Shopping, etc, is merely 5 - 10 miles away.

[Hannah]

I voted boonies, but we're 20km (abt 12 miles) from a town of about 40 000. Farmland between us and town.

[amyable]

I voted 40,000 but that's just our zip code. Really, we're in a close suburb of a city so the city and our local towns all blend into one another. So I could either vote 40,000 or a million. :)

[elegantlion]

I live in a house. There are less than 1000 people in my house. There might be a 1000 dust bunnies, probably a 1000 bugs hidden in the walls, 1000+ dog hairs, 1000+ cat hairs, ~ 1000 pears outside on a tree (okay, some have been picked), but I live in a house, but there is no louse. There might be a mouse, but the cat could take care of that. There is a monkey next door, who is also a cat, who tries to sneak on my deck and eat the 1000 sparrows that come to eat from the one (1) birdfeeder I own.

[Diana B]

24,000 as of the 2010 census. And a 20 minute drive to the next biggest city.

[Wheres Toto]

I live in a town of around 5000 but I'm in the New York Metropolitan area so..... once again I need "Other".

[Meriwether]

We live in the country but the town when Dh works is about 5,000.

[chepyl]

The city name that I write in my address is fairly small, but we are stuck between two bigger cities, all part of the greater metropolitan area.

[KristinaBreece]

Our city had 787,033 inhabitants counted in the last census.

[DawnM]

My actual town has about 2000 people, but we are 5 miles from the Charlotte border, which is a major metro area.

 

Dawn

[higginszoo]

My actual town is probably 80,000 ... part of an area that has probably more than 1 million but less than 2 million.

[Virg]

I hate it!! We live in a city now of 60,000 but a suburb of a million. Not a fan. I grew up in the boonies and I really miss it!

[PinkInTheBlue]

My town has up to 100,000. I have to go 2 hours in many directions to get somewhere bigger and that's really frustrating because I like bigger towns/cities.

 

I'm near Fort Rucker. Do you know where that is?

[Denisemomof4]

in the boonies, but close to it all. I can't remember if we've topped 5000 now.

[curlygirlzx2]

I live in Vegas where the population is 1,951,269.

[Mommy22alyns]

The population of my town is ~14,000.

[Jenny in Atl]

Atlanta is 5+ million. The burb in which I reside within this megatopolis is about 88+ thousand. People are everywhere... :willy_nilly:

[Rosie_0801]

I'm in a major metropolitan region, sadly. The town I want to move to has a population of 6,000. Why can't we move? Because of the TRAIN TIME TABLE!

 

Rosie

[EmilyinND]

I live in a tiny town of less than 500.

[iona]

The sign says about 17,000. The greater area would bring that up though. We do have a small state university that brings in more than another town in the same bracket would.

[Mimm]

Umm... 200,000. Didn't vote.

[BigMamaBird]

Roughly 1300 at the 2000 census. I LOVE it!

[nono]

Can't answer your poll!

 

We qualify for federal urban development funds, as we are a city on a grid. But we're on a sand bar. If that's not the boonies, I don't know what is!!!

 

But in the summer...oh the summer. I think then we're a major metropolitan area!

[kpnick in nc]

I'm in an unincorporated town, so it feels like the boonies. My first *rough* estimate was 0 since Wikipedia said our town was 9428, but our local university (included in our census area) lists its enrollment at 9500. :confused:

I answered 1-5K since when I took out the college-aged category, I came up with 2800, which sounds right.

[swellmomma]

My village (it's too small to be called a town) has 761 people

[kalanamak]

I'm in a small town that a city has grown up against. The government is quite small, and librarian, post mistress, etc. know hubby.

[Carpe]

I live in a house. There are less than 1000 people in my house. There might be a 1000 dust bunnies, probably a 1000 bugs hidden in the walls, 1000+ dog hairs, 1000+ cat hairs, ~ 1000 pears outside on a tree (okay, some have been picked), but I live in a house, but there is no louse.

:iagree::lol:

[BarbecueMom]

My unincorporated non-town is a little over 6,000, but I live in a metro area.

[Kirch]

Boonies, but only 20 minutes from town.

[Tutor]

Last I looked (the pop. has gone up since), our town has about 15,000 people until the college students come back... then it doubles. :glare: Not sure which to pick.

[Jen in PA]

I live in a village of 120.

[Grover]

Can't vote.

 

About 350 000

[IsabelC]

We're in a little rural place with a population of 1500, a half hour's drive from a small city of about 210,000 people.

[Melissa in Australia]

I live in a very rural place, closest town 3 km away, population 150.

Nearest large town 20 minutes away, population 2000. Nearest city 100 km away population 10,000

[GypsieFamily]

I can't vote ... we have been travelling for nearly 2 years ... home is where ever the RV is parked.

[Mom in High Heels]

I had to look it up. Approximately 145,000, not including the Americans living on the military base.

[Laura Corin]

I voted that I live in the boonies, but I actually live on the edge of a village. It has 100 houses (fairly spread out, including outlying farms, etc.) so that might be 300 or 400 people. I don't think of it as a 'town' - our only commmunal services are a phone box, a village hall and (in the village hall) a part-time post office (which I run). The nearest town is five miles away.

[keptwoman]

I'm in a major metropolitan region, sadly. The town I want to move to has a population of 6,000. Why can't we move? Because of the TRAIN TIME TABLE!

 

Rosie

Rosie lives in my backyard, along with 4 million others.

[QuirkyKapers]

According to the internet, 47,800.

[Tigger]

I answered my town has up to 100,000, but we're not actually within the city limits, just have the city address. We're out in the county, about 10 miles, so technically not in a town/city really. Lots of land, a few neighbors, but close enough to town that it doesn't feel like the boonies unless we want it too!

[LuvingLife]

I voted for 500,000, I live next to way too many people!!:glare:

 

I want to live near the boonies!!!!

[littlebug42]

I do live in the city and we have about 170,000 in the city and many subdivisions/smaller cities surrounding us. I voted major metro area although not as big as LA or NYC.
