Where do you live?

[cjk374]

Just curious about the break down of the areas we all call home.

[hotdogPi]

About the poll: In most states, designations of "city", "town", and "village" are not defined by population count.

I find that strange, because Louisiana does. The rankings I use here are mine that I came up with.

My jurisdiction is in the 100K+ tier, but is part of a metropolitan area (DC) that is in the highest tier.

[JJBers]

I live in a nice rural town with less than 3k population

[jp the roadgeek]

The jurisdiction that I live in has a population of about 45,000, but is classified as a "Town" and not a "City".  So while I did vote appropriately based on population, the label is a misnomer.

[1995hoo]

I live in Fairfax County, which has a population of over a million, but it's a predominantly suburban jurisdiction and I therefore didn't vote in the poll because I don't feel any of the descriptions fit. I suppose the OP would classify it as "outside any municipal entity," most likely, but that didn't feel right to me based on the population descriptions. Our neighborhood alone had 15,556 residents as of the 2010 census, but it's neither a town nor a village and it's definitely not a city.

I think I figured out which town it is. (Based on your description of "outside the I-291 beltway", I would have thought you were within a few miles of I-291 in Connecticut. Now I think you're closer to the Massachusetts border than to I-291 in Connecticut. Am I right?)

[HazMatt]

I live in the 'Town' of Cary, with a population over 160k.

[plain]

Mine's pretty easy as I live inside one of Virginia's cities that have over 100k residents

Connecticut is famous for that. *cough* West Hartford *cough*

Nope.  Not Enfield as 1 guessed, and not WeHa either.  Someone did figure it out once, though. 

[Desert Man]

What? Nobody voted from a mega-city (don't forget Chicago!)...yet. I live on the city limit boundary of two cities plus a county jurisdiction-my grocery store job lies within the county. Honestly, I'm in La Quinta CA - but I say Palm Desert which is a larger city, and the county is Riverside county.

[SignGeek101]

Winnipeg is a city of 700K, but I wouldn't call it a "mega city". A Metropolis I think would be a city of at least 2-3 Million and/or a city which is economically important.

[vdeane]

Are we counting the municipality we live in, or the metro area?  In any case, I would think it would be most informative if the poll options could take into account both the type of land area and the metro size (such as "big city suburb", "medium city downtown", "rural small town", "middle of nowhere", etc.).

[GaryV]

I voted based on the population of my city.  But it's a suburb in a metropolitan area of millions.

I voted, and used "big city".  I come from Joliet, not Chicago.

[Big John]

Where I live is a "big city" according to your poll, but is commonly regarded as a "small town".

[allniter89]

I live 10 miles east of Crestview, FL, 2016 pop 23,567. Crestview is the county seat of Okaloosa County & sits at the jct of US 90 & FL 85, I-10 passes thru the southern most area of town using exit 56.
I live in a very rural area off US 90, a few people have built homes in this area mostly more than 1 mile between houses. I love the peace & quiet, we sit on the back deck & watch deer & occasionally a black bear walk nearby. 

[freebrickproductions]

I live in the third largest city in the state of Alabama.

[Duke87]

I live in the most populous city in the United States, and also the only one to encompass the entirety of multiple counties.

[US71]

I live in a border town. I can walk to the street corner and look into the next state.

Or I can walk to it in less than 10 minutes

I thought you lived in East Windsor until that point.
There's only one place in Connecticut that could be a village: Union, where I-84 blasts through.
But here's a semi-easy way to figure out what town I live in:
I live in the Willimantic area and I live in a "town". Take a look around, and you'll easily figure it out

Your avatar and population clue helped me figure it out.  One of only a handful of towns in CT outside of Litchfield County without a Dunkin Donuts (there are several within my town's limits)

The towns to my north and south don't have Dunkin' Donuts aswell
