Based on my feelings it is not so little, but I am looking with my european eyes. The citizens are more or less 260.000, however someone continue naming Mokpo “a village”. Korean standard, in terms of city sizes is quite different from the euopean one, anyway even big cities are livable in Korea.
Some data about Mokpo:
Area 47.92 km2 (18.50 sq mi) / many new areas in development
Population (2006) 241,679 / growing fastly
Population density 5,196.5 /km² (13,459 /sq mi) / it will be higher and higher: korean people like very high block of flats.
Administrative divisions: 22 dong
