Well, we need to do a per capita thing. How many people in the Port
Huron, MI, area?

In what is called San Diego's coastal "North County" there are 354,264
peoples. (Oceanside: 177,119, Carlsbad: 95,651, Encinitas: 53,744,
Solana Beach: 13,756, Del Mar: 13,994). This is only the communities
that actually "touch" the coast. Crowded right behind them are places
like Vista and San Marcos.
