Are you more a city or country person? Well, this map and the graph below can help you decide where to move. In 2012 the median number of residents per square mile in the US was about 98 people per square mile. Alaska on the other hand had just over 1 person pers square mile. On the other extreme is DC with 9,927 people per square mile and New Jersey with 1,169 people per square mile.
The graph below may help you to better grasp the
huge differences between Alaska and New Jersey. If each of these blue squares is a square mile, then each person symbol represents the number of people per square mile in each of these two states and the median population density for the US as a whole.
