I mean there's exceptions like altdorf, talabheim, mordheim. But with shit like salzenmund (electoral capital btw) having a population of 15k I can't imagine your average drakwald shithole being better off. And let's not even start about norsca's population/army ratio
That being said it's a classic case of worldbuilders being retarded when it comes to numbers, especially population. Picrel is tor koruali, capital of the kingdom of the mighty high elven kingdom of cothique. I'd be surprised if it breaches 10k inhabitants from the picture.
