If my math is correct:
The world’s population could fit in the state of Rhode Island giving each person a 2 foot square to stand in.
The world’s population could live in the state of Texas if you grouped everyone in families of 4, with 75 acres, and a 1500 square foot house.
You could feed the world with produce grown in the valleys of California. (If you grew the right kind of produce.)

Overpopulation of the world is a lie too often propagated by those with ulterior motives.

I get 4.89 square feet.

6.92 billion people in 268581 square miles is over 40 per acre, so if they were grouped in families of 4, every family would have 1/10 of an acre.

Overpopulation of the world is a lie ...

In my lifetime I have seen many negative effects of the increase in population. I'm surprised that you haven't noticed any.
