3000 or so in the small town in Minnesota...

We have 2 wireless internet systems (2 different companies) plus mediacom cable + dsl coming shortly 🙂

(man I feel sorry for you people in small towns that don't have the same oppertunities as us...)
 
One meeeeellion people here in Dallas. I think there's around 3 million in the DFW metroplex though.

Edit: Amazing! What are the chances of 2 people from the same area posting at the same time on the same topic with the same general info!! BTW I lived in Arlington for 10 years before moving to Dallas, it's uncanny!!
 
I think Birmingham is somewhere around 250-300,000 in the city limits. The population in the city is actually shrinking rapidly due to suburban sprawl while other areas are still exploding. I think the metro area as a whole is right around 1 million.
 
Here in Arlington Country (smallest county in the US at 7.5 by 3 miles) we have a nighttime population of around 200,000 and a day population of 215,000. The area where I am, with about a 25-30 mile radius, is a bit over 5 million people. (DC Metro)

If anyone wants to know their area's Census 2000 population go here.

As for W. Lafayette, I suspect that's because students don't permanently live there. Almost all students there are still claimed as dependents of their parents and their home address is with their parents. My brother-in-law goes there but his parent's claim him as a dependent and far as I know his permanent address is at his parent's home.
Besides across the river in the city of Lafayette the population is 56,397.

Actually if you are a full time student you are considered a resident of West Lafayette, IN. We had to fill out our own census papers and our parents could not count us.
 
Coral Springs, FL - 150,000 (Suburb of Ft. Lauderdale)
Gainesville, FL - 80,000 (50,000 are students 😀)
