Big Cities In The United States

Every town or city in the world is unique in its own way. They have defining factors that set them apart from one another. These factors include poverty, population, sex, unemployment, and many other features. These specific aspects are all apart of demography; the scientific study of population, composition, and factors such as health, race, ethnicity, income, and more. Demography varies greatly by location and by comparing two places, such as Jefferson City and St. Louis, Missouri, one can see the variation of these features and how they influence health and overall life quality. You will see that St. Louis and Jefferson City, although both located in Missouri, are two very different cities.

I’m from the small town of Lindale, and I can say that it’s no longer a small town. I’ve lived there all my life and it’s blossomed since Wal-Mart and Lowe’s came to our small town. Lindale is a great place to live because it’s where you can sit on the front porch with a cold glass of sweet tea while being surrounded by a true caring community and at the same time enjoy the true beauty of Lindale which has a unique charm. It’s crazy to think that the census population of Lindale in 2010 was 209, 714. http://www.lindaletexas.com/detailed-demographics

When it comes to small towns people who haven’t lived in one tend to think that they are boring or bland. However a chat with some of the people who have always lived in a town of less than four-hundred people for their entire lives really paints a new picture. Donnie Moyer has lived outside of Terril, Iowa his entire life on a farm working for his father until his passing in which he took control of the property. When we discussed “How has the town change since you’ve lived here?” he responded with “It hasn’t change at all it's still the same place I grew up in.” Some see this as being bland but in today's age with all the technological change it is refreshing to see some are happy with their roots. Going on from that I asked him about his

It takes a lot to rip apart a town. It takes a lot to ravage a community, particularly one as tightly-knit as Ridgway, Pennsylvania. Nestled snugly at the southeastern edge of Allegheny National Forest, Ridgway’s population has dipped to just below four thousand in recent years, though in its 191 years of settlement, it’s never once been called home by more than roughly six thousand people at once. Its proximity to the forest attracts huntsmen and hikers alike, but unless one were actively looking for the town—the square mileage of which comes in at just over two and a half miles, total—it would be remarkably easy for Ridgway to not make a blip on someone’s radar at all. It’s small, out of the way, and most of all, quiet—a recipe for insignificance.

When Dorothy spoke the words “There’s no place like home” in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, she certainly wasn’t talking about my hometown. Coffeyville, KS is a seemingly sleepy, innocuous town of 10,000 in the southeast corner of Kansas has struggled to maintain relevance in the wake deindustrialization and urbanization – not unlike most of the state.

Another premise I found while reading this story and from my experience with small towns is that

The United States of America experienced a nearly one percent population growth rate in 2014 (Lafayette Parish, Louisiana). This growth rate is higher in comparison to Britain, France, and other first world countries. To many, this statement is not surprising. There is always an exaggerated news story about the increasing number of people immigrating to America and how it affects the country. Each woman in America is replacing herself and her spouse by giving birth to an average of nearly two babies in her lifetime (Louisiana). As America grows, more and more people migrate to cities because, generally, living in a city provides an easier life. Cities have plentiful jobs, more housing, and a multitude of places to shop and to eat. Cities also

Some civilians from a rural area does not know what it is like to be in a crowded town. There are a lot of reasons why some people in society are in favor of the less crowded spots. In my experience, there are disadvantages and advantages anywhere you live. When you ask random people why they live in dense populate place, they may say because I don’t like being in a traffic jam. The main reasons why they dislike the crowded places are because they are afraid to get out of their comfort zone, dislike the crowds, it costs too much money like food and gas prices, and there is not enough outdoor activities to do in cold or hot weather.

Sebring is considered a small town, but is the smallness that keeps the city together and community strong. In the heart of downtown Sebring, is the circle which contains local stores and shops owned by residents and with these stores come the affection of the people you will meet that make the city whole. Small stores and local events such as these are what keep Sebring a strong friendly community.

The place I call my hometown is Latta and I have realized that living in a small town has its perks and privileges. Latta is a small city filled with people that are affectionate and loving; especially my family. My hometown has taught me the importance of my family and friends. In the small city of Latta, nearly all the people would look out for each other like family and friends or even neighbors as well. My parents instilled values in me of never giving

Growing up in the small town of Pocahontas, Iowa gives appreciation to the simplicity of tight-knit communities. With a population of 1,800 people, there is single café where local farmers enjoy a morning cup of coffee while discussing the news. Rural communities are a place where children have birthday parties at the local pizza place and teenagers’ first jobs are as detasslers. As a child, your mother knows if you got in trouble at school before you return home and everyone’s name is well known throughout the area.

America, in the early colonial years, was mostly country. Multitudes of people lived on farms, and few towns existed. As time has passed, America has innovated, and now millions of prodigious cities overpower the dwindling areas of the country. Because of the numerous towns, rarely any Americans have experienced the modest country life. Some individuals believe that the city is superior to the nation only by considering the conveniences that the city possesses. However, nearly all Americans have yet to realize the specialness of this country. It is an improved place to live in the city because it is peaceful, self sufficient, and beautiful.

I grew up in a suburb of Kansas City for most my life. Two years ago I moved with my parents to a very small town where my dad grew up. Growing up in a larger town has shaped the way I act and feel towards people. In the small town I live in now everyone knows everyone, and everyone knows everyone’s business. That was never the case when I was growing up people minded their own business for the most part.

Where I come from it's taking pride in your yard, knowing every single one of your neighbors, and leaving doors unlocked because there isn’t a thing to worry about. I find comfort in that small town feel, and I am more than proud to be from good ol’ Warrenton, Indiana. Here, we are just a wee bit shy of being big enough to be on a map, but we have a name and we have town lines. Within those lines nearly two hundred people have found a home, and thanks to Mr.Dave Gruible our community is steadily flourishing. There are now three subdivisions on the rise in addition to the church, salon, family restaurant, and campgrounds that nestled into the area years ago.

Living and growing up in a small town is better than doing so in a big city.
