KML Maps: US Population Per Square Mile
About US Population Per Square Mile ....
This interactive map shows the population per square mile of every county in the United States. As you can see there are some great differences in county population densities across America. This map uses Jenks Natural Break Optimization of the coloring, which makes some mid-size counties look more populated then they really are. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenks_natural_breaks_optimization
Data Source: 2016 US County Population Estimates. https://www.census.gov/data/tables/2016/demo/popest/counties-total.html
