I know, but the Nimitz doesn't have nearly as many automated systems as the Galaxy is implied to have. No one needs to clean out the pools or the holodeck when the transporter/replicator system can do so automatically, and convert the grime into energy for the rest of the ship to use. There's only one bar to work and one eating room that needs to be worked, all other food is done by replicator. I could see 400 or so, 150-200 to do things that are actually ship related and the rest running the schools, arboretum, and the rest of the useless civilian shit, but not 1000.
