It's okay, even if it is only 1% it would be already more people than the population of the majority of Portuguese cities.

You might think so but this is Goa we are talking about; very small state (rank 28 of 36 states and union territories) with a population of 1.4 mil. So 1% is 14000 if i didnt fail 3rd grade math.

I know this is very surprising, but the majority of cities in Portugal have less than 15.000 people. And as ameliamay said, this 1% probably does not count people who speak portuguese as a second language. So yeah, visiting goa I will probably see more portuguese speakers than visiting any rural city in portugal. It is not serious tough, just a fun fact.

Holy shit! I thought, when you said 'cities' they'd have like 1,00,000 people. I wonder how peaceful it would be living in such small population density.

Yeah, you could probably find a lot of people to talk to in Portuguese.
