The city has often been dubbed as the, or at a stretch, one of America's worst towns and called "America's Crud Bucket", "The Armpit of America's Butt-Crack", "The Little Town That Can't and Won't, "The World's Meanest City", as well as being the "World's Fattest Town". It is understood as a sister city to Shelbyville, which in real life would be Eugene, Oregon. It's zip code is 80085, as of Moe Letter Blues. The city population is estimated to be approximately 60,000. This can be questioned however, because during the couch gag at the beginning of the episode " The Ziff Who Came to Dinner", the screen pans out to the map of the United States, and the location over Illinois, and it is stated to be in southern Illinois, and there is no evidence towards it being Oregon. For many years, the evidence was sufficiently contradictory that it could not be identified with a specific state however, Matt Groening has come forward and admitted that it was based on Springfield, Oregon. It is located east of Shelbyville, south of Capital City,but also near Ogdenville, and North Haverbrook. Springfield is a city (or town in some episodes) in Springfield County, Springfield's State and is located within the continental United States, where the Simpson family lives.
