Well the quotient N(north america) / A(north america) is low, but this value does not have to match the average or median population density in areas around samples.
In other words, yes, America is a big country, but it's big cities are just as densely populated as big cities anywhere else.
- maxerickson 9y agoWell the quotient N(north america) / A(north america) is low, It's infuriating that you choose to reply like this without accounting for both paragraphs of my comment. I mean, I'll just let it go, but c'mon. I would say that US cities tend to be less dense and that Americans don't tend to live in urban centers as much as people in other countries.
