US States with Population Under One Million

Fun fact: Among these, the state with the highest population is by far the smallest by area.

Why post something on the internet which you could easily look up, on the internet? Delaware is 6th densest after NJ, RI, MA, CT, and MD. (To cosmokim and TalonPlays).

True, but once you leave the northern half of New Castle County and go toward Dover in Kent County or go into Sussex County you will see Delaware is technically dense but only because of Wilmington and Newark. It's like Pennsylvania. Pittsburgh and Philadelphia areas are huge but the rest of the state is fairly rural. You technically could but NYC and LA in the middle of Alaska and it would be considered dense because of the super dense cities in the middle. However, in reality relative density throughout the state would be low.

New Jersey 1,225 people per square mile. Rhode Island 1,025. Massachusetts 879. Connecticut 741. Maryland 624. Delaware 494. New York 421.

fewer

By far. Vermont is 5 times as large as Delaware. 9,250 square miles to 1,950.

In fact, if the Dakotas were reversed, the whole list would be inverted if it was by area.

*South

That is a fun fact, but it's South Dakota, not North Dakota, that is the only state with no common letters with its capital.

Whoever realized that fact needs a free dinner.

I understand that's printed on their license plates.
