The US Census Bureau has designated us as a Metro statistical Area (we used to be a Micro Stat area) and throw around a number in excess of 100,000. However, it is defined by the area (not just TV proper) and includes parts of towns around TV.

Confused? Yeah, most of the rest of us are. There's a whole heap of folks here and the number goes up every day.
When we left on 5/1/12, I read in the Village newspaper that @ that time the population was a tad over 102,500.
