Your answer confuses me? Yes all of Scranton and Wilkes-Barre...the built up areas only...not country or whole county or suburbs; unless their density is 2,500 people in every square mile of land.

How many people live in the Urbanized(2,500 people per square mile)(city) area of Scranton and Wilkes-Barre combined; this ONLY includes areas that are contiguous(touching) each other.

I used to be surprised by some answers...The truth catch is: you can't look it up...just type what you think. We can look when it runs it's course. Which will probably be quick...LOL. This is gonna go over like a lead balloon....LOL.

An urbanized area see... Urban area - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ...should work...thanx.

[PITTSTON2SARASOTA]

Go to: List of United States urban areas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia And Thank you for participating........Any surprises???? Any Comments are welcome????

Now I know what you mean...just the two cities added only...or the combined population of everything in between...closer to the latter.

Give me time to add them up...lots of time...LOL. I started...but ran out of patience when I punched in an extra 0...LOL. I am not sure if that is all of them or some missing...must meet density requirement to be added into total.

[NYRangers 2008]

I say 552,000.

[PITTSTON2SARASOTA]

Nobody surprised or disappointed...or shocked???

[marchawg]

I guess I'm a little surprised. That's nearly 400k people, and the area just doesn't seem that large.
