 > Worth noting that the database we've been using says "city" but in this
 context, city means town. We've used a data source which includes town
 with a population of >1k (or an administrative area of 1k, so town X of
 500 and 500 in the surrounding area, where X is the common point would be
 included).

 That probably explains the behavior I'm seeing...as Gardner, CO has a
 population of only **70**.  If the surrounding farms are included, what I
 call "Greater Metropolitan Gardner", the pop balloons to a whopping
 **400**. Yes, I live in the sticks :-).
