Wow, it shows the true spread of population. I had no idea that the US population so heavily leaned towards the east. I thought you guys were just spread all over the place.

The common stereotype of the US population is either the highly-crowded, siren-filled city or the suburbs with all-identical houses. Neither does the real picture any sort of justice. For example, the most densely-populated US state is New Jersey - and New Jersey is 50% forest. OK, so the 50% that isn't forest is packed with people and pretty much paved over in highways. Still.
