you would be surprised to know that more than fifty percent of america's land is empty
and more than eighty percent of the population live on the eastern side of the country
don't believe me
let me explain
around two hundred and sixty seven million people that's about eighty percent of the population
are living on the eastern side
meanwhile the western half
it's way less crowded
only twenty percent of folks live here
and out of that places near washington and california hold about twelve percent of that twenty percent
so basically just eight percent of the population is spread out over half the country
it's one of the emptiest places you could find
but why
the answer lies in it's geography
the formidable rocky mountains act as a massive barrier intercepting rainfall and rendering the adjacent land arid challenging for agriculture and less hospitable for settlement
but there's more to it
factors like historical settlement patterns availability of water resources and cultural preferences have also played significant roles in shaping this unique demographic distribution
