The following map shows the presence or absence of the population in the census subdivision of the mainland of the United States. White corresponds to the category where people live in somewhat, green corresponds to the category with zero population. Clearly understood from the map that the western half of the mainland of the United States occupies most of the population with no population, and the opposite phenomenon occurs in the eastern half. Also, it is known by the creator of the map that only 47% of the country except the US territorial waters lives there.


As you can see from the mainland of the map on Google Maps, the western half of the mainland is mostly inhabited by people, such as deserts, wilderness, and mountain ranges, whereas the eastern half are green and areas where people live are more prevalent .


Focusing on the west half of the mainland, many people live in California and on the coast of the west coast, but the central inland is mostly green.


When looking at Google map, you can see that deserts and desolate areas are dominated around Nevada State and Utah State with few population. In addition, there are many national parks where people are not permitted to live, in addition to a strict natural area in the western half, so it is said that the population is extremely low.


The eastern half of the mainland is filled with white which the population is confirmed. The main province in the upper right of the map below is a place with zero population.
