One of them only has 550 people.
Not sure how they can afford a K-8 school.
I also sub in towns of 25,000 & 160,000.
I live right at the edge of where the metro area becomes farm country for most of the next 250 miles!
700,000 in our county. Next county south is 105,000. Next county west is 35,000. The one south of that county is 33,000 for the whole county! These two counties have 10% of the population of our county, and these are all 8 to 15 miles away!
