Paganism, by definition, is any various religion outside of Christianity, Judaism, or Islam. Wicca is a type of Paganism, and falls under its umbrella. A comparison would be like saying Christianity is a religion, but Southern Baptist is a form of religion that comes under Christianity as a whole.
More specifically, Pagan means "country dweller", where Wicca means "witchcraft". One does not have to participate in Wicca in order to be a pagan, but those who practice Wicca are all considered Pagans by default.

How many Wiccans or Pagans or witches are usually in a city?
There is no actually means of accurately numbering how many can be in a city. Most Wiccans and Pagans often live in places where they are simple more comfortable, while others remain in the familial because of sentimental values and memories. Some seek out locations that have a natural and strong elemental affinity to that particular person. The city size and economy also assist in the choosing of where we rest our brooms. Basically we are the same as everyone else, so trying to gauge the number of Wiccans and/or Pagans in a city is similar to gauging African-americans, Asian, Caucasian or even Hispanic citizen. A census would give and marginally accurate number but rarely do these incorporate each individual religious background, grouping Wiccans and Pagans as New Age or Spiritual.
