All I get are red xs - but I will click the link, looks interesting.

ETA - just checked the link, yay - my whole section of the state is 10-49.9, and that must be a funny average, since there are wilderness areas and mountains without any human beings at all!

Here is another way to look at all the people in the world. A math quiz. If you took all the people on earth and stood them shoulder to shoulder,toe to toe how large of an area will it take?

The answer....400 sq miles or a square 20mi x20mi or fer us southerners they will all fit inside the 285 loop around Atlanta.

I didn't expect to see more people in east TN hills than I did over here in west TN...maybe they don't count river rats? Seems to be less density there.

From knowing what the area looks like where I live I can almost certainly say - the map sucks. Are they counting graveyards or something.

I thought they were all inside the loop. Or is that just rush hour?
