Yes, apparently Wyoming only "wins" on the lower 48 at 5.9 people per square mile, vs Alaska at 1.3 per sq mile.

There's a corner of Oregon where it's 1 per square mile:

Beautiful place in its own stark way - especially Steens Mountain. I wouldn't want to live there, though.


Well, I bet that there are corners of Wyoming that are that un-dense. Maybe most of the state outside of the I-80 strip?


Oh, I'm sure there are, I just think it's an interesting corner of Oregon that's worth pointing out because it's really unknown, but beautiful and fascinating.
