The Lebanon/Claremont region is the largest micropolitan region in the country. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micropolitan_statistical_area

This wikipedia article talks about the population sizes during the 2010 census so its a little different now - at that time both Claremont and Lebanon had populations of about 13k each but the region surrounding them was 218k people. As of the 2020 census the region is 221k people.

That's really interesting! Did not know that. It's interesting how the two zones are separated as well - with Claremont being on its own in Sullivan, and the other zone in Lebanon consisting of Grafton, Orange, and Windsor counties.

Also kind of puzzling how the median income is just under $41K and we all know what the price of housing is in the same area.
Also didn't know that Claremont has been losing population since the 1970's-80's when I lived there. I always was told it was around 13K so I looked it up - turns out it peaked in the 1980 census at 14,557. Today it's 12,949.
