- logfromblammo 7y agoAlso, "literally a desert" concerns rainfall, not population density.

- lm28469 7y agoNot a native english speaker, "desert" can be used to describe an empty patch of land in my language. Anyway, there are 10 states in the US with a lower pop density than the least densely populated country in Europe (norway, which is already quite empty). Half of the US states have less than 40 inhab per square kilometer. Sure some are farm land but it's far from all of it https://map.onesoil.ai/2018#3.89/38.32/-98.67 https://map.onesoil.ai/2018#3.89/38.32/-98.67
