Added by Electric44See also: Bonus Population, Population Limit
Players build up the Population of their city by building houses. Different buildings add various numbers of citizens into the city, for example a Cozy Cottage adds 10 citizens and a Suburban House adds 40 citizens.
There is a limit to how high a city's population can rise, based on how many completed community buildings are present in the city. A player can increase their population cap by building more community buildings, which require either a set of materials such as building grants, or friends to accept positions on the staffing team of the community building.
Happiness
Edit
Bonus Population only appears when "Citizens are happy" (<=75%) or "Citizens are Unhappy" (under 90%, but above 76%). If the "Citizens are Very Sad", the population is at 90% or greater than the capacity, then bonus population will not be granted until the population limit is raised or population is reduced to make the total population below 90% capacity.
A player cannot exceed their population limit. The population limit can be viewed in the bottom left corner of the screen. A building which may push the population over the player's limit cannot be placed, even if it is not completed. If a player attempts to exceed the limit, they will get a pop-up message within the game, informing them that they need to place more community buildings.
How happy a city is will help determine how fast businesses are ready to be collected from. The happier the citizens, the more likely they will shop at businesses.
