At the turn of the first century the population of the country of Samaria was roughly around 200,000-600,000. The majority of the population was in the Northern Kingdom until the Jewish Revolt in AD 66. Then the Jewish community scattered throughout the Samaritan country side.

No. Jesus lived in Galilee. Israel had been conquered by the Assyrians over seven hundred years earlier and renamed Samaria. A Jew would not have been very safe living in Samaria.
The Kingdom of Israel was finally destroyed by the Assyrians in 722 BCE and many of the people who did not flee to Judah or Egypt deported, never to return. So, in the time of Jesus, there was no Kingdom of Israel and there had not been for over seven centuries. The land of the Israelites had become Samaria, the land of the Samarians, or Samaritans. Judea and Samaria were under Roman rule.
The Bible does not specify the exact time it took Jesus to walk from Jerusalem to Samaria. The distance between the two locations is approximately 30 miles (about 48 kilometers), and walking this distance would likely take a couple of days, depending on the route and pace. Jesus often traveled with his disciples, which could have affected the speed of their journey.
Before Jesus visited the villages of Samaria, the disciples were sent ahead of him to prepare for his arrival. In the Gospel of Luke, chapter 9, it is mentioned that Jesus sent messengers ahead of him to a Samaritan village to make preparations. This demonstrates the importance of planning and preparation in Jesus' ministry.
