Antarctica tops the list of cities with only one resident. Technically it is only a station, but nonetheless there is only one person manning it. Canada and the good ol’ U.S.A top the list with most cities with only one resident. Between the two of the, there are twenty-one cities with just one resident.The rest of the cities lie within European countries. Interestingly, there are more cities in the world with no one inhabiting them than there are with just one or two residents. There are more than one hundred cities around the world without anyone living in them. In some cases, people drive to the cities to work and then leave. Others are simply still recognized as cities, but have become ghost towns that were slowly abandoned and forgotten.
So, these towns seem to have no reason to really exist with no one or next to no one living in them. They aren’t really ran by anyone. There is no need. They were established townships previously and it is more work than needed to remove them from being recognized as an established town. It is just easier to let them be, and maybe someday people will live in them once again.
