19. The Size And Population Density
Several states in the United States have low population densities, especially those in the middle of the country and in the Pacific Northwest. It’s not that people don’t want to live here; it’s just that the Pacific region is pretty expensive, and the Midwest doesn’t have nearly as many job opportunities as the cities.
If the number of people in each state was plotted on a map, the result would be something like this. As you can see, most of the people still live near the beaches and the border with Canada. If you are thinking about moving to a new place to get away from a lot of people, this map will be helpful.
20. China And America’s Ever-Growing Population
China has more people than any other country in the world. The East Asian country has been home to the most people in the world for a long time, and it’s a good thing that it has a big land area to accommodate its growing population. On the other hand, in terms of total land area, the United States is almost as big as it is.
When put on top of each other, the United States is slightly bigger than Canada, but not by much. The United States and China are the two countries with the most people. They are about the same size, but the U.S. covers 9,833,517 square kilometers, and China covers 9,596,961 square kilometers. If this were a competition, the United States would win because it has more land.
