Your overview is correct and would also be applicable to remote rural areas of northern New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine in particular, where there are more moose then people.
Very similar in many respects to the greater Adirondacks region of Upstate New York is Vermont's heavily wooded "Northeast Kingdom" which is northern end of Essex County, bordering southern Québec & N.W. New Hampshire along the begining of the Connecticut River. This section of Vermont is the least population.
The vast majority of native born residents of this section of Vermont will freely admit to strongly disliking anything urban in rather bold terms. I cognizant of this fact - first hand! - lol.
