There is stuff in the archives about this. There is also the issue of size
of households. We have 43 households but fewer people than many smaller
communities because we have a lot of single person households and smaller
apartments instead of single family houses.

I like the large community because it means more diversity. I don't bump
into everyone everyday. But smaller communities tend to be more homogenous.
