@unitedstatesirl: The United States is often imagined as a country full of small towns and isolated communities, but most Americans actually live in relatively concentrated areas. Around half of the population lives within roughly 142 counties, according to population distribution estimates. These counties contain major metropolitan areas such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Phoenix, and Miami. Millions of people live in surrounding suburbs, forming enormous urban regions connected by highways, commuter networks, and shared economies. Outside these population centers, much of the country is far less densely populated. Vast rural areas, farmland, forests, and deserts cover large portions of the United States, creating a major contrast between geographic size and where people actually live. #countriesirl
