I am guessing the 100,000 - 1 million option should be 100,000 - 500,000. Because then you have 500k - 1m.

So, 100-500k is what I chose.

Edinburgh - population 430,000, but it's on the rise. I'm guessing people would be surprised the city's population is as little as that.

Wow

Yeah, I knew it was a small city compared to say London, but I expected it to be in the region of 900k-1m

Some figures in the UK would surprise a lot of people,e.g. Manchester proper isn't much bigger than Edinburgh but Greater Manchester has about 3 million,compared to the whole of Scotland
at 5 million

You just shattered my entire worldview by making me look it up on WP. I thought my city was a nest because it is small. Well, no, it isn't. according to 3 different Wikipedias it has more than 100k inhabitants. The German WP even explained the reason for it (3 other 'cities' became a part of it), but still... incredible to hear. (before you ask: I only live here since March)

'bout 30,000, I think. Though it's a town rather than a city.

Nah the poll has up to 25 million, but it's the penultimate (next to last) selection, rather than the last..

Raleigh, NC, only has 400,000 or so..

I live in Arlington, a city within the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, and as of 2007 Arlington had a population of over 370,000. Arlington, TX is the 50th largest city in the United States and the largest city in the world without public transportation.

The poll has two options that are correct for people living in cities with populations between 500,000 and 1 million.
