Ponyville population?

[Luurilka 325]

By counting the number of houses in this image of ponyville and determining the number of ponies per house, I have concluded that the population of ponyville is 300-600. The picture has about 100 houses shown, but there could be up too 50 houses behind that cloud or too far away to see. I could see the average house in ponyville holding 3-4 ponies.

 

If 100 homes holding an average of 3 ponies, then the population is 300

If 150 homes holding an average of 4 ponies, then the population is 600

 

What do everypony else think?

probably close to about 500, IMO.

[Zero000 435]

I would say 25, not counting the clones.

I think about 50 ponies...

 

*Looks at image*

 

Id say around 500 ponies.

Or maybe each pony owns 20 houses, and clones themselves constantly to use up all the houses.

I know what big and small communities look and feel like from having lived in a few of them. A low estimate of 500 and high of 1500 sounds about right.

Canterlot seems also quite small compared to human urban centers, being maybe as high as 20,000.

I would say around 1,000 - 3,000.

I would say 25, not counting the clones.
