Fresno by the Numbers: It's Not Tiny, But It Ain't Exactly Megalopolis Either
Here's the skinny: Fresno sprawls across a cool 116 square miles (that's 300 square kilometers for our international friends). That's roughly the size of a large pizza (if that pizza was, you know, shaped like a rectangle and covered in, well, Fresno).
Now, is Fresno a giant amongst Californian cities? Nope, it sits pretty at number five in terms of population, but hey, at least it's the biggest inland city in the state. That means you can ditch the flip-flops and embrace the fresh Central Valley air without any pesky ocean waves getting in your way.
Tip: Read carefully — skimming skips meaning.
Fresno vs. Your Favorite Things: How Big is Big?
Let's get visual. Imagine Fresno as:
- 23,000 football fields (though, let's be honest, you'd probably get lost trying to find a decent latte in that many football fields).
- Enough space to house 10 Disneyland parks (complete with Dole Whips for everyone!).
- Slightly bigger than your average Rhode Island (although, we're pretty sure Rhode Island doesn't have quite as many raisin farms).
The point is, Fresno has enough room for you to spread out, whether you're into sprawling suburbs or charming little bungalows.
Tip: Look out for transitions like ‘however’ or ‘but’.
