The total population in the Emerald Triangle is 236,250 according to the 2010 census. The majority of the population is widely spread throughout the woody hills that make up the area. In this region, the city of Eureka has the highest population with only 27,191 people; and the second largest, Ukiah, is only 16,075. Locals in the Emerald Triangle have been quoted saying "All of the service economies are totally dependent on marijuana"; and in addition to marijuana sales, pot growing helps small businesses such as garden supply stores at the beginning of the season, or just about anything come harvest season in the area.

Famous quotes containing the word population:

    This was the Eastham famous of late years for its camp- meetings, held in a grove near by, to which thousands flock from all parts of the Bay. We conjectured that the reason for the perhaps unusual, if not unhealthful development of the religious sentiment here, was the fact that a large portion of the population are women whose husbands and sons are either abroad on the sea, or else drowned, and there is nobody but they and the ministers left behind.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The population of the world is a conditional population; these are not the best, but the best that could live in the existing state of soils, gases, animals, and morals: the best that could yet live; there shall be a better, please God.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    We in the West do not refrain from childbirth because we are concerned about the population explosion or because we feel we cannot afford children, but because we do not like children.
    Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
