It is if I have a vague idea how big a county is.
There is no standard size. Usualy county lines are drawn for historical reasons. Though at time of statehood this does get reviewed and modified.
If a state the size of Florida has 60-ish counties I would be surprised if many of them had populations much over about million or less than 100,000 if the counties were reasonably randomly populated (if there has been an attempt to equalise the populations then even more so)
Texas has over 200. Some have several M (I live in Travis and it has 1M, Harris Country [Houston] probably has close to 5M) a couple in W. Tx. have only a few thousand. I'd be surprised if many (any?) states have any sort of program to get people to perferentialy live in certain counties. I suspect the other counties might get upset. I suspect Florida is quite similar. ____________________________________________________________________ He is able who thinks he is able. Buddha The Armadillo Group ,::////;::-.
