For a sense of scale, roughly 5,000 live on my peninsula between the towns. The summer populations is probably about 10x that plus any weekend visitors.

It makes it really hard for restaurants to stay open during the off season, and even the Hannaford's market can't be sized right. It's a bit big for the population right now, but it feels like Black Friday on weekends during the summer.

The towns have been working to bring more off season events to even things out, but most aren't working (the one notable exception brought in 160,000ish customers in it's second 6 week run).
