Springfield, Missouri is the third largest city in the state
Oh?  What are the largest cities, then?
not sure but the city had 159498 in 2010 for its population
That's pretty specific!  Is there anything else about Springfield that's important?  Was it the inspiration for The Simpsons, perhaps?
no but in 2016 the population rose to 167319
Almost 10,000 eh?  That sounds like a healthy economy if one is judging population growth as an indicator.
yea its some solid numbers.
I'm sure something good is in Springfield for so many people to live there.  I hope they find out one day!
