According to https://ethernodes.org/ there are ~7.5k nodes & according to https://www.etherchain.org/charts/distinctMiners ~60 miners running ATM. Small city sounds a bit big in that context.

This link to the list of Ethereum mining pools might help make more sense of that: https://www.poolwatch.io/coin/ethereum

As you can see there are ~570k workers contributing to ~79k mining addresses. A lot of the data you see about "distinct miners" might be pools rather than your loner GPU miner.
