Why 50% of Americans Live in these 9 OVERCROWDED States 

North Carolina Georgia Ohio

Michigan bruh

Michigan ain't much of a surprise, but I believe that N. Carolina was a huge surprise bc I thought there were only two cities in that state, being Charlotte and Raleigh. What I'm hoping is Tennessee getting a bit more populated, which I believe their population is still growing exponentially

Alaska

Ohio. I had no idea it was so crowded. Not some place I would want to live, but then none of the states on this list could pay me enough to live there.

True. Like with Illinois, most of the areas outside of Chicagoland is pretty sparse. Although, doing total population is different, so I likey.

Indeed.

Density and population r the same

@@Berlin70 No it's not. Density takes into account the size of the state. Population doesn't. New Jersey is the most densely populated state at almost 1200 people per square mile. But its population ranks only 11th.

@@miamivicefanatic9736 great example. In my many travels I’ve gone many miles where I’ve seen little to no people (outside of travelers on the road and even that can be iffy) in states that have some of the biggest cities in the country (Illinois, NY, California, Texas). I can’t say that about NJ. Anytime I think of NJ I think about how there’s always a town nearby when driving in that state and I’ve been all over NJ.

CA can say the same, and yet it feels crowded even in small towns oftentimes compared to other states

People make this mistake all the time...NYC is densely populated but not 95 percent of the rest of the state. Take away the big city and you have a very sparingly populated state.

@@iworkout6912I live in upstate NY and we have some decent size cities up here. Buffalo and Rochester both have over 200k

Illinois is the same. Nine million of the population is within 60 miles of downtown Chicago. The other three million spread across a huge area. There are counties in the southern part of the state with less than 4000 people. There are city blocks in Chicago with more people

NYC needs to be a separate state of its own apart from the rest of NY.

It’s becoming unaffordable everywhere and nature is being deforested everywhere by new mcmansions from the mountains to the outer banks

Yes it is affordable, very affordable, if you choose to move to the right places outside the high growth areas. If you want to live in a small city like Statesville, Sanford, Kinston, Wilson, Kings Mountain, Lenoir, Hickory, Rocky Mount and on and on, you can get a house at a great price and ,(relatively) low cost of living. It's just nobody want to move to places like that.

@@ChuckHackney true most small cities are affordable

I agree my hometown used to be cheap. A 2/3 bedroom would cost 3-400$, but now it’s 700$. Let’s not talk about the pay ratio. Most jobs are only paying less than 14$ an hr, you really need a car to get around….

@@ChuckHackney Small towns are dying since it doesn’t appeal to the Millennials and the Gen Z. It won’t appeal to the Gen Alpha. Also, farming is dying since younger generations prefer urban cities.

Yeah pretty wild how vast the difference is between the cities and nature parts

Because so much of California is mountains and desert

Yeah because 40 million people will leave California.

@@railroadforest30damn near more of it is forest in norcal

@@wheredideliasgo I was doing OTR delivery work (via cargo van) with a driving partner and we had to make a drop off in LA. From there we had to head up to Portland, OR. Of course we had to drive through San Jose, Sacramento, etc and it was all good. One we made the pick up in OR, we had to head to Nevada and that meant cutting through the eastern portion of north CA. Man, that area was nothing but forest. I was praying to God we didn’t break down out that way because it was the middle of nowhere and it was nighttime. I think we saw maybe one other vehicle when we were driving through that wooded area. Between that experience as well as having to go through the desert portion of southeastern CA when we were heading to LA, I had learned quickly how even the majority of California’s population is in the western portions of the state.

I drove through Illinois a few times and the vast majority of the roads are very empty While it’s bumper-to-bumper traffic at all times on I-90 in Chicago, most of their roads like I-74 and I-57 are very empty. The only vehicles I see on those roads are semi trucks and police vehicles

Does the same thing applies for Springfield? Or it’s overcrowded with people like Chicago?

​@@Abdellah.AB1Springfield is fine. Chicago metro area is where majority of the people live.

@@Juwellz18 cool, thanks👍🏻

@@Abdellah.AB1 Springfield is pretty empty in terms of a state capital. It’s still a nice town, but it gives more small town vibes than big city vibes

you mean "you're back" a contraction of "you are back"

​@@JohnKromko-vm7ofnerd

exactly

The US is still overcrowded many other countries are more crowded

@@railroadforest30 No, it isn’t. We have enough natural resources to take care of ourselves and the rest of the planet as well as hundreds of millions of acres of land that are completely uninhabited so we’re not even close to being overcrowded.

@@pulsatingsausageboy2076 we don’t have enough natural resources to take care of the planet. As it is the Earth is being deforested and depleted of resources and the more that happens the more it affects people by worsening the effects of natural disasters and lessening the amount of possible natural resources extractable. Also most of the Earth that is hospitable to human habitation is not uninhabited. There are only a few areas such as certain remote sections of rainforests that can still be considered wild. And those are being encroached upon en masse. If most habitable uninhabited land was used a lot of things would become scarce

Yes we are spoiled.

South Florida is lame

The florida keys are cool tho@@dreadhead5719

@@dreadhead5719 Still one of the most visited regions in the entire country 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️ On top of the fact that it’s part of the most largest/fastest growing state in the country

​@@dreadhead5719agreed, the tourist industry tyrants and the INSANE landlords make the whole place suck. I'll miss the weather but it's great to be out of that cesspool.

​@@jaycasado5029I hate South Florida. All of my close family lives there and that's the only reason to go there is visit family. Other than that, no reason to be there.

The only thing that is pleasant about Illinois is leaving that corrupt state.

@@RvnntSocTrue, corruption is king here, not corn and soybeans.

Even Chicago isn't that crowded. The population density of the North Side is low-medium by world standards, about a five on a ten scale along the lakefront and lower inland. The rest of the city has a much lower population density than that. The suburbs around the city are about medium density for suburban development in North America going to lower density the further out you get. All anyone needs to do is get a ward map. Each of the 50 wards has a nominal population of about 55,000. The area of the city is 234 square miles. They can take it from there and get the idea. Some of the wards are strangely shaped but then they also encompass areas where there is little or no population, such as commercial and light industrial areas, railroad yards, parks, waterways and areas that are simply depopulated. It is a myth that Chicago is a failing city. A person only needs to look at the kind of real estate development that has gone on there and continues to go on to realize this is not so. Huge numbers of office buildings have been built over the last six decades and gentrification is moving westward from downtown and the North Side lakefront neighborhoods. I left in 1975 but I like to keep track of what happens there. Most people know only about the clown show politics but not about the rest of the story. The finances of almost all state and local governments in the Northeast quadrant are vexed by the cost of pension obligations they contracted for decades ago when the actuarial expectations were a little different than they later became. In any case, people think that the fiscal problem of the governmental entities are inevitably tracable to the economic problems of the polities they govern. Not always so.

@@anonymike8280lifelong Chicago resident here. Chicago is a failing city. Crime is through the roof with the new SAFETY act. Over 60 years of democratic policies and now progressive ridiculousness is making businesses and residents flee. Sooner than later all that will be here are dependents and city workers who have to live here to keep their jobs. Aside from being crime filled, it’s filthy and falling apart. I barely recognize this place anymore. Take a trip back and see for yourself

Happened to SF. Now it is Sac. Starting to hate all major cities. ​@@Sal-pl6im

Exactly! I happen to live about 25-30 min north of Albany, and I’m in the country.. not a lot of people. A few years back, I lived in the Adirondack Mtns… hardly any people. A whole different world.

Yup!

What I like about Europe is outside of big cities it’s mostly farms and rural but in America cities are surrounded by suburbs especially Nashville there’s no more country side outside the city it’s all turning into suburbs

They are daily commuting from North of Poughkeepsie and deep into the Catskills and they have been commuting from the Poconos for decades. I know there are people daily commuting to NYC from Riverhead on Long Island 60 miles away. Just seems like a long day to me.

I like living in suburbs near NYC. About 55 miles away. I agree about developments; but people have been moving from NYC for decades. For a House, Space, Schools, and many don't want to live integrated.

I was surprised to see that too ! Been here since the late 50s. It will always be home

Get some public transportation, stupid everyone has to drive a car.

@rileyp7 The Orlando metro area is the 21st largest in the country. I’m pretty sure it’s residents too

move to north FL (not Jax). you will love it

Yeah, Orlando area sucks all the time. Never again for me. ~ 🦋

South Florida is insane

It is practically Arkansas.

I'm a truck driver. Pennsylvania is around 320 miles from east to west. Pittsburgh and Philadelphia are only a small snip of the state. Most of the state is mountainous and sparsely populated.

@@pollypurree1834 Small towns everywhere I grew up in western Pa now live in eastern, pa. I love it. Moved away for jobs and came back 16yrs ago. My wife came with me from Cali and likes it here.

Yeah really. Im in saginaw and im not seeing this insane density

When global warming starts drying things out elsewhere in the country Michigan like all the other great lakes states will eventually be packed. But being in the Mack bridge area I'm not gonna worry bout it.

Grand rapids is a growing city without the downside of the Detroit area

@@KenWesaw-up5wf ...who are you kidding. GR is going the way of Detroit unless the people get control of themselves & city government does not go too WOKE. The signs, culture & certain elements all point to a smaller version of the big D.

​@acausedelle1547 dont hold yoir breath. As both coasts move further inward, you're going to see a difference

Pretty nice country living in the right areas, Walmart, Lowe's and McDonald's within 10 miles and I'm good.

I'm from Pittsburgh and it's definitely overcrowded. Ppl everywhere 😂😂

@@charlespulliejr.1987 Its a city.

​@@charlespulliejr.1987I'm from outside of Pittsburgh & it absolutely is not. Weird how there's more to a state than one fucking city 😂😂😂

You could fit the entire population of the world in Texas and still have some extra space 😂

@@dylansmith2733 I hate when they try to say the earth is overpopulated for “their” agenda when it’s extremely obvious that it’s nowhere near what they say. It’s the same people who blame the regular everyday working people for pollution when it’s their companies that dump toxic waste into river and lakes and a bunch of other shit we don’t know about.

The center of the much discussed Texas Triangle is as rural as Kansas. The only sizeable populated area inside the T.T. is Bryan - College Station.

Exactly!!

Glad you enjoyed! :)

I live in a neighboring state and I've traveled to Georgia to buy 3 of my vehicles. They're always cheaper in Georgia for some reason

was growing up in a rural community depressing? ( genuine question) i have a friend who grew up in rural mississippi and they said they were so depressed they had to leave

Don’t know if that’s impressive for Paris or just plain sad for Ohio 😂

You kidding me, 11 million french kissers in my doorstep here in Michigan? No way!

@@kalebwieland4938 😄😂🍞🍷

If France was a state it would be the size of texas. Not sure why comparing a state with much smaller land mass is a fair comparison to a country with one large city. However if you compare economies Ohio alone is the 16th largest in the world. Not bad for a smallish state.

@@susantesta6482 he said Paris metro not France lol

Internet jobs, or should I say those people who jobs are online are moving to rural states because of lower cost of living

@@richarddecker9515 What about lifestyle and weather? There is no Zwhole Foòds in WV, and 1 in MS.

They're fine for retiress with outside income, and when many rurals move to cities they see how far their income DOES NOT go because overhead is absurd.

@@Comm0ut Seniors need quality healthcare not available in rural states.

Not true at all, especially with the rise of remote work. I was about to move to Montana in 2021, but the prices out there basically tripled overnight because of that cancrerous disease that was spreading across the country. I think it’s called Californiumoa.

In navigating the economic landscape, a diversified portfolio blending traditional and dynamic assets proves to be a strategic choice. The successful portfolio managed under the guidance of Samuel Peter Descovich exemplifies the impact of well-informed decisions, underscoring the significance of expert advice in today's financial landscape.

Exactly! Which is why I appreciate giving a financial advisor the power of decision-making. Giving their specialized expertise and education, as well as the fact that each and every one of their skills is centered on harnessing risks for its asymmetrical potential and controlling it as a buffer against certain unfavorable developments, it's practically impossible for them to underperform. I have made over $1million working with Samuel Peter Descovich, for more than five years.

Building a good investment portfolio is more complex so I would recommend you seek Samuel Peter Descovich support. This way you can get strategies designed to address your unique long/short-term goals and financial dreams

He appears to be well-educated and well-read. I ran a Google search on his name and came across his website; thank you for sharing...

@@adventuresofpyro9020 "Easy, work from home and paying 6 figures."

Lmao no they aren’t 😂, I don’t like Texas but it’s not that crowded bro, it’s just a big ass state

Crowed enough when illegal aliens start crapping on our ranch 600 plus acres of land. Who feels it knows it.

*crowded

Well jeez, if you like empty southern states there are plenty of them. I'm sure Arkansas isn't getting overpopulated

Eastern MA is very crowded, central MA average to rural, western MA very rural; still five miles to the nearest store in my old hometown there

PA is 3 times the size of NJ with only 4mil more people

I’m originally from MD, didn’t seem “dense” at all… but the area in GA I live in surely does.

@@19valleydan From Westfield to Lee on Route 20, there's a gas station in Russel. A bank branch in Huntington. The distance is about 30 miles. Get up to Worthington, and it's even more rural.

I live in RI and it definitely doesn't feel overcrowded. Numbers are inflated because of Providence, but once you go into the heart of the state its forests and small rural towns.

@@comeconcon569probably all from New York.

It officially passed NY in 2013

Sparsely populated up there. Peaceful. Houghton and Marquette were the 2 bigger small towns we visited. Loved it in the summer. Yoopers got a very nice area.

Hmm, never made that comparison before. You're probably right! Cheers..

Considering the federal government owns basically all of Nevada, you’re definitely right.

Thanks so much!

Lake Of The Ozarks , Osage Beach area are bright spots in Missouri along with SW Missouri . I live near Springfield after leaving Illinois a few years ago

Everyone plays banjo on their back steps? lol.

Her haw buddy

How’s Marty Byrde doing these days lol

My late wife was from Versailles Missouri so I am somewhat familiar with the area.

Springfield is a great city to visit. I liked the historical district and the parks are nice.

Alabama doesn’t have a Piedmont region, esteem time zone, nexus location with the Appalachian, Atlantic coast etc, Florida dies not have an identical topography, neither does Tennessee or SC. GA is ideally located and by design too.

Its because Atlanta was the major trainyard of the south like Chicago is of the midwest. Think about all the national companies based in Atlanta and surround burbs. Delta, home depot, Coke, CNN, Cox Communications. Probably another doz fortune 500 companies. Its not aboutthe weather or terrain. Its about access to jobs.

Probably because there are more jobs there than in Little Rock.

I live in the US and I’m within 20 miles of the Canadian border. I agree with you 100%

Water used to be the most important consideration when towns were founded. Will be again, soon. I am so glad the Great Lakes are divided between our two countries. That makes it harder for dry parts of the U.S. to take the water.

Yup. Further proof that the existence of Snow Mexico is unjustified. It’s like the only purpose it serves is to break off direct access to Alaska.

Salute from Detroit to our Canadian friends across the river.

Eh?

I live in Nj. And I hate it here. It’s so crowded everywhere you go. You can’t shop or do anything comfortably anymore. It’s beyond me how anyone would want to move here. Highest taxes in the nation , in all areas. Can’t wait to leave this Sh!thole.

@@zahiakwaraWhat do you mean “anymore”? New Jersey has been bleeding it’s population for at least 20 years. It’s one the slowest growing states in the country. You should be enjoying the fact that people are starting to free up space.

@@ralegade7710 idk where your getting your numbers from. But everywhere I turn all I see is new developments being built. To accommodate all these people. This state is an absolute nightmare. And the people moving in are even worse. 👎🏼👎🏼

There alot of people up and down the I-75 corridor mainly

Except for Atlanta, we call the city that ate GA, and a few other cities, GA has lots of rural areas sparsely populated. BTW, Atlanta is almost like another state compared to the rest of GA, very different lifestyles.

@@lesliemoore1656nope, it’s evenly distributed with the exception of the I-16 interstate. I don’t think you know what truly sparsely populated really means, go west, even to Alabama. All the way up 75 to Chattanooga are strings of mini cities from Adairsville, Calhoun, La Fayette, Dalton etc. Eveb down 75 you have Macon, Valdosta and other mini cities. You can’t even go 60 miles without a population or gas station, that’s not the true definition of rural

@@neox9369 I now live in Southeast AL and grew up in Bham AL now for 67 years. I have been to many of those places and in every state in the South. My husband and I go to GA as he often has jobs that take him there. As for sparsely populated areas, I have seen a lot and actually live in one.

@@DC.402exactly, Dalton is a decent size city in the mountains and it’s growing

Crappy jobs in Georgia. So, I'm not understanding the attraction.

Water, water, water. Oceans, great lakes, great rivers. Water was a major source of transportation for goods and services, an essential element in heavy industry, a power source, needed for agriculture and recreation.

Just the cities

@@ToledoRailfannot even the cities. Columbus has so much room for growth. It’s very sprawl out.

Yet it’s the most densely populated state that’s not on the east coast

It is but so are all states

Where the f is M20?

It runs across mid-michigan. Mt Pleasant latitude. Good effort.

That's in every large American city now

If I drive diagonally from the southwest foothills of the Berkshires to North Adams, for maybe 40-50 miles there's no gas stations. 1 Bank Branch. Even straight East West, there's a whole lot of rural and back roads.

@@dlewis9760 that’s far extreme western Massachusetts. Boston is far east. Boston and surrounding burbs are overcrowded because of all the employment opportunities and all the schooling. Powerhouse colleges call Boston home.

Not true Boston has always been historically liberal and progressive

It's becoming very difficult for *most people* to live near where they grew up. Either there are no good jobs that fit your skill set well, or there are plenty of jobs but the cost of living is insane.

I wouldn't even say those cities are over crowded with people. Its cars and our endless sprawl that makes it feel over crowded.

It still is a transport hub. They didn't remove the rail lines. Everyone is forced to drive. What else would you expect.
