Santa Clara Country - 1,490 people per sq mile
Probably triple that in the populated areas.
Having flown over the state on the way to Ft. Lauderdale last month, you can certainly see huge stretches of land that are unpopulated.
for this to come to pass rural America is going to need much better internet hughesnet with its very low data caps and slow speeds isnt going to cut it anymore. time for rural broadband act in parallel to FDRs rural electrification act
The satellite companies are trying to make internet access ubiquitous.
When are the SpaceX and Amazon internet satellites going on line? I saw that Starlink got FCC approval for a million installs.
Should have bought a cabin in Harding County NM.
0.28 people per square mile.
What’s with all the lights in northwest North Dakota???
I like those volcanoes.
We have 4,052 square miles in a county of 180,000 people. There’s more cows and manure spreaders but there’s still runs on Clorox and toilet paper. That’s about 400 square yards per person but most of it is wilderness. Northwesterly winds off the coast keep the air clean.
Of course Ferndale is where the (non-)fiction movie Outbreak was filmed so it’s already happened here, except a monkey and not a bat..a big ugly Chinese bat...be scared, be very scared.
Unless you're packed-in like Democrat sardines in NYC or LA. But, hey! You think it will save the environment!!
EXACTLY!!!!
There has been a rural broadband movement since the early 2000’s.
But, it’s expensive when the density drops to 3 houses per mile. Broadband construction ain’t cheap. At less than 35 homes per mile it made no sense when I was building CATV plant in the 80’s. My guess is it hasn’t gotten any cheaper.
Good points. Separation has to be an issue. That’s why I hate it when people — Fauci, etc. — always use Italy as a comparison for what will happen here. Two entirely different places with different characteristics and demographics.

Maybe so. I’m on 40 acres and 30 miles from town. So far this county is un-infected. Nobody really comes here this time of year. We’ll be fine.
Its called AMERICAN GREATNESS!
Oil rigs.
