As of 1 March 2024[update], the city had an estimated population of 255,332 in 107,553 households.[1] Its total area is 536.41 square kilometres (207.11 sq mi)[2]and its population density is about 476 persons per km2. Most of the population lives in a small central area; the city limits include rural plains, mountainous areas, and suburban sprawl along the Route 8 bypass.
