That's a bit misleading: 70% of Oregon's population is concentrated in the Willamette Valley, an area 1/5th the size of England and with a higher population density than Scotland. The US population is not evenly distributed: most of the population concentrates in very dense urban/suburban areas whereas most of the area (particularly in the west) is sparsely populated.[1]
