According to the last census in 2010, there are some ridiculously tiny towns in the US, including five places that have just one person living there. Alaska, Arizona, Nebraska, Utah, and Washington all have towns with a lone inhabitant, but what is maybe more surprising is the states that have the largest little towns. Tiny little Rhode Island has the biggest little town with Watch Hill's population of 154.

Keeping in mind that there are in fact a few areas in some states with a zero population, this is the definitive list of tiny towns in every US state, as of 2010.
