UK: Twenty thousand people isn't even a town here, let alone a city. Am I being harsh in suggesting that this is basically rounding error? Isn't the dynamic towards urban (N*10^6 people with 1 < N < 10) concentration?
- niftich 10y agoAlthough that quote refers to the jurisdiction of Cumberland itself, the ranking is ostensibly about the Cumberland, MD-WV Metropolitan Statistical Area, with a population [1] of almost 100k.

- keithpeter 10y agoOne hundred thousand is just about a town over here. Best of luck from my small crowded island.
- pavanky 10y agoThe definitions of jurisdictions do not translate well across countries. The definition of city / county / town etc are not even consistent across United States. You can not compare a UK city to those used in USA. For reference, the British definitions did stick around in India, and being an Indian, I can relate to what you are saying :)
