The dark green blocks in the maps above represent U.S. Census blocks where the reported population equals zero.
These maps above show us, in green, where nobody lives in the USA. We often think that we can’t get away from people, but you can get into some truly uninhabited zones if you head out West.
We love that California is the most populous state with almost 40 million people, yet look how much uninhabited land there is in California. Another great contrast in CA.
A Block is the smallest area unit used by the U.S. Census Bureau for tabulating statistics. As of the 2010 census, the United States consists of 11,078,300 Census Blocks. Of them, 4,871,270 blocks totaling 4.61 million square kilometers were reported to have no population living inside them. Despite having a population of more than 310 million people, 47 percent of the USA remains unoccupied.
Green shading indicates unoccupied Census Blocks. A single inhabitant is enough to omit a block from shading. – maps by nik

Found another uninhabited human
If this is the case California and Washington DC don’t have a brain between them. They should be solid green for no intellectual life forms.

All that unused land and people want to invest in going to mars to develop it, people fighting over land and wasting time, ideals and lives, instead of growing and expand/developing the unused places/spaces call earth our only noted home suited for us with the essentials , air, water and nourishment. i know I’m just a dreamer but what if the money spent on war and war machine where spent on land TERRAFORMING .
You gotta remember tho that this map is just about humans.
You gotta remember that this is just for humans. Just because it is unhabited by humans doesn’t mean it’s unhabited

If you’ve driven from the PNW to Salt Lake City you will have a sense of the emptyness. Any that’s driving along an Interstate Population corridor!
