- maxerickson 5y agoThe density people live at isn't "very low", they mostly live in towns and cities.
- alibarber 5y agoObjectively the population density of Helsinki [1] is half that of London [2] - and according to google, a tenth of that of Paris. Subjectively after living in both Helsinki and London it feels like Helsinki is even less crowded. I would say that there are fewer people who commute in to commercial areas from outside of the city than in London, and the commercial areas such as offices are generally a lot less dense, newer, and more spread out.

- maxerickson 5y agoYeah, it's still not 'very low'. The population density of the town I live in, which is not 'very low', is ~400 per square km. The county, which is denser than most of the area of the US, is 12 per square km.
