It might not count as a city but Nome Alaska has the Iditarod with only, 3700 people. Or maybe some famous battlefield, Gettysburg has 7100 people. A ski resort like Aspen could count with 7000. We all had to memorize state capitals so maybe somewhere like Montpelier, Vermont has more recognition but has 7800 people.
Jeez, I had no idea Aspen and Montpelier were so small.
Idk about Montpelier but Aspen is kind of connected to a more populated area in the Roaring Fork valley.
The Roaring Fork Valley has like 50k or 40k total. Maybe more if you throw in some of Colorado Valley towns like Rifle and Silt.
Aspen has been experiencing a deep housing crisis for years. They have to bus in most of their workers from nearby towns because no one who has to work for a living can afford to live in Aspen. Now there's a worker shortage because no one can afford to live in the outlying towns either.
You can drive through Aspen in 5 min. It’s tiny.
Sturgis also has a population of around 7,000, and has a pretty significant cultural awareness because of its annual motorbiking event
