Also the 27 million people living in Texas.
- nkoren 10y agoTexas is 695,662 km^2. That's larger than the combined area of Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Great Britain (682,034 km^2), which have a combined population of more than 174 million people. So, yes, Texas is comparatively under-developed.
- soundwave106 10y agoEven regarding Texas, about 16 million of those 27 million live in just 4 metro areas (Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio). Most of the the development, large metros included, is in the eastern half which is a fair bit less arid. Texas has 8 counties that make the top 50 least populous counties by density (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/County_statistics_of_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/County_statistics_of_the_Unite...). It fits a pattern that also fits Australia and Canada... people don't want to live as much where it is extremely dry, or extremely hot / cold.
