California's a pretty damn big state. The total area of those five states is only ~70% more than California, and that's counting all the central and northern bits of Michigan that definitely aren't part of this, and eastern PA.
- dredmorbius 9y agoCalifornia is a big, but generally unpopulated state. Approaching 40 million, that population is divided, generally, as: half in the Los Angeles - San Diego region, half the remainder in the San Francisco - San Jose region, half the remainder (5 million) between Sacramento and Stockton, and the remaining 5 million throughout the rest of the state, mostly still within the southern Central Valley (particularly Bakersfield). See: counties by population, showing 23 counties of fewer than 100k population. Over half the state's population is in 5-6 counties: Los Angeles, San Diego, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Santa Clara. https://www.california-demographics.com/counties_by_population https://www.california-demographics.com/counties_by_populati...
