If you crammed the entire population of the world into a land area the size of Texas, how much room would each person have?
Do the math. We're nowhere near overpopulated.

Do the math. We’re nowhere near overpopulated.”
Texas = 250K square miles (roughly)
Acres/square mile=640
World Population= 7 billion
People/acre of Texas = 43 (roughly)
Acre=40000 square feet (roughly)
About 1000 square feet per person
That was fun! All numbers are from memory and not guaranteed. Corrections welcome.
And I guess so long as you have room enough to stack people like cordwood, you're not overpopulated.
