Are we Bigger than Boulder? Badder than Seattle?

How many families and kids? How many Cabrillo College and UCSC students? How many skaters, cyclists, public transportation devotees? How many church groups, classrooms, soccer teams?
(How many Santa Cruzans does it take to screw in an energy efficient light bulb?)
