States By Population Density

Speaking of populated places, it’s safe to say many of us think America’s population is evenly distributed among its states, right? Well, as it turns out, this is not really true. Thanks to this map, which resized the aforementioned states according to population density, we can see that the more populated regions are close to the east.

We already mentioned that California is the densest state among 50 states in the US. This time, we should also pinpoint the cities across the country with the most people. As of 2021, New York City takes the lead by a wider margin as the densest city in the country with more than 8.6 million residents. Los Angeles, takes the credit for being second with more than 4 million, while Chicago has over 2.6 million people.
