    Middle, 40,000 + people both where I grew up and town I currently live in is about this size as well.

    I love small towns. We bought our house ten years ago with nothing around and it was great, great, great! Now we have a humongous Walmart one mile down the road, the second one in this city and the third within an 8 mile drive. We have 176,537,439 restaurants churches, bakeries, gyms, dry cleaners, and auto parts stores within a two mile range now, too.

    I was so wrong. I just learnt population is 82,000 and getting bigger...

    Extremely small. The street I lived on was the same as my family name. We were the only two houses on that few mile stretch

    The stucco slabs of sleepy suburbia, where hot moms shop at Nordstrom Rack during the day, and outspoken anti-vaxxers on Facebook somehow get elected to city council. I would not be the whiny prozac-dependent millennial that I am today if it weren't for this funkytown!

    Born in a coalmining town in the Poconos, but was wrenched away at 5. It used to be safe & friendly. Now it's drug addled & people lock their doors.

    Since then only lived in the largest cities in the world... 4 continents, 7 countries, 11-12 states. In the states, lived the longest in Boston. Stopped counting at move #30.

    Since 5, never lived in a place smaller than Boston in population or in a house... only inner-city apt bldgs & giant apt complexes.

    Small towns make me a nervous wreck... it's impossible for me to imagine not going to the ballet, theater, symphony, lectures, concerts, espresso bars & to have 100 ethnic restaurants within walking distance to choose from at least a couple of times/wk. I get it, if you own property & have lawns, gardens, land, family & kids to attend to, so you have plenty to do... but, I'm a renter without all the aforementioned. I need 3M people bothering me at all hours of the day & night.

    Grew up in a town of 5,000 in Idaho. Went to college in Delaware, with a freshman class of 5,000, let alone the rest of the university, let alone the rest of the city! Something of a culture shock, believe you me.

    Currently live in a city of a couple hundred thousand...not sure if that qualifies as a "big city" or not by some people's standards.

    What’s a stop light?
    Is that like that one sign on Main Street that says STOP?

    Small city or big town depending on who you ask.
    Around 60k population and the center of a 200k metro area

    Little tiny town of about 300 people. Live on a dirt road in the woods or Northern Michigan.

    I grew up in a commieblock in a city in the 1-3 million people range (depending on how you define the metro area).

    I live in an apartment building in a city in the 1-3 million people range (depending on how you define the metro area).

    Fits my style ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
