The population of the Italy map

About half a week ago, I finally solved the freezing issue that I had when I would try to load any large map (All I had to do was increase the Swap space since it was a RAM issue). Finally I can now play the Italy map which always was my unreachable my favorite. I decided that a fun idea would be to count the population of the villages, I started counting and halfway through counting Norte I had a simple thought: hasn't anyone else done this? The answer is no, but the Italy map has its own wiki page on the BeamNG.drive fandom, which claims the following on the Norte article:
"It is easily the biggest settlement on the island, with a population estimate (based off of average amount of households per building and average amount of people per household) of 20,850,,
There's no way that the population of Norte is over 20k, not even the real place in the real Italy has this many people, so whoever wrote this wiki article probably used AI. So I counted all of Norte, Lucera, Villapace and Fastello based on the REAL average household size of 2.5.
I counted it based on the buildings, some would probably accommodate more people, so some were counted as 5, while a lot of corner buildings looked like floor-based apartments so I counted them as 7.5, I even counted some businesses since here in Italy a lot of people also live where they own their establishments. This counting doesn't include abandoned and second-house buildings since I none are abandoned (which is weird) and I have no way of knowing which would be second houses. The numbers may not be accurate, but it's definitely closer to that of the AI generated wiki page:

Norte:4310
Of which:
Norte:4145
Small village near the castle:70
Village near the town with a bus stop:30
Village near the highway exit:65

Villapace:90
Of which:
Villapace:70
Small area with villas near Villapace:20

Fastello:950 (though wiki wrongly claims 3370)

Lucera:272.5 (I have no idea what to do with that half-person)

I didn't count places like Portino, Conca Azzurra, Città Vecchia and Castelletto because I didn't have much more time. But in the end it's just guessed numbers and none of them are accurate since a total of 0 people actually live in a video game map.

 

Avez-vous compté tous les habitants ??

 

Interesting. Seems to be very realistic numbers you got there. Remembers me when I counted all buildings in Witcher 3s Novigrad to estimate the population. I must have been very bored but I find stuff like that interesting. Nice to see that in BeamNG aswell.
