Po-adresses go up to about 500 in ponyville; assuming an average of two ponies in each house, I'd say maybe 1000. This is ponyville

[Mentis Soliloquy 3,024]

Honestly for Ponyville I'd put the population at a few hundred, it's a small village more than anything.

I live there if you count me. In the fandom universe at least. Hmmm... I wonder what Ponyville would look like if everyone who claimed to live there did. I guess there is a good reason that all of you aren't in Equestria.  or maybe we'd all be in a new Equestria. I don't know, just things I came up with as I was typing.

I'd say probably a few hundred to one thousand. It's not what I would call a city, but it's getting there.

You know, I´d imagine that PonyVille would be the around the same size of High Prairie.

[Foxy Socks 2,599]

I know it may seem a bit high for it, but about 1,000 to 3,000 for Ponyville. However, it probably is rapidly growing due to it's popularity now.

[Maple Bat 3,568]

I would say more than a thousand but less than five thousand

[K.Rool Addict 718]

Really? You guys are gauging the population to be in the high hundreds or even thousands!? Ponyville is takes up maybe the same space as 4 suburban blocks max. I say LOW hundreds, if not less than 100

o,o

I mean, look at this, it's right in the show's intro for Celestia's sake!

^Remember, ponies are way smaller than humans so use that to gauge the scale of everything shown here

[Kaneki 1,072]

Less than 1,000 and more than 100.

Wouldn't know, unless there's a Ponyville Census survey.

Well the houses in the picture go back for a long ways

Plus compensating for any sort of hills blocking view thats even MORE houses with roughly 2 ponys per house

If I had to make an educated guess...about three fiddy.

The houses do go back pretty far, but clearly the bulk of pony residence is located around the town square area. The houses that are located far in the distance are much more sparsely laid out. Even with 2 ponies per house (personally, I wouldn't mind 2-4 ponies being the assumed number) the population of Ponyville would be in the "low hundreds" as I guessed in my initial post.

 

Ponyville is far from a "normal" town in our world. A better approximation would be the cities seen in the mainline Pokermon games

Thats a good way to put it

I dunno, maybe around 500, is my guess.
