People per square foot?

[fdd2blk]

if you take the land mass of the US and divide it by the number of people living here. how much land would each person get. then spread them evenly. how far away would your closest neighbor be?

i'm a little slow at math. anyone?

 

[mexiblunt]

Good question? I'd like to see the math too. If someone works it out can you do canada as well?

 

[flowergurl]

Approximately 303,645,612 people in the United States.
3,717,792 square miles of land mass.
Makes for approzimately 81.67 people per square mile
what does a .67 of a person look like?????

 

[clueless]

I'm not sure why I'm answering this, but

Land mass, miles^2 = 3,537,438
People (Est) = 300,000,000

Land per person = 3,537,438 / 300,000,000 = 0.0118 miles^2 / person

0.0118 miles^2 / person @ 5280 feet / mile = 328,727 feet^2 / person

328,727 feet^2 / person @ 1 acre / 43560 feet^2 = about 7.55 acres / person

sqrt(328,727 feet^2) = 573.3 feet between people.

I have not checked the math but it sounds about right.

So Canada has about 3,560,217 square miles of land mass and roughly 33,091,228 people. 9.29 people per square mile.
I'm moving to Canada...getting too close for comfort in the US...lol

Yeah, I know I can see 550 feet without too much grief. It's gonna take some really good cover to hide the plants.

majority of Canada is unpopulated, look on a map there hundreds of thousands of kilometers that no one lives in

 

[CALIGROWN]

Nice thread...I love math

 

[flowergurl]

Are you serious??? I never noticed....I thought people were stacked on top of each other in the yukon territory. LMAO

I am currently working in one of these hundreds of thousands of kilometers that no one lives in.

If it weren't for all these trees. I COULD SEE FOR MILES AND MILES!
Really tho. there is a whole lot of nothing up here.

 

[Mr. Maryjane]

I would move to canada, but I think brazil or someshit would be way better for sativas

 

[fdd2blk]

thank you for the answers.


i was just wondering the other day, well everyday, why people feel the need to bunch up so tight. why do people have to live in the east bay and commute the the north bay. and vice versa. why not live where you work? i don't understand it all. i think people need to spread out a little but after reading these numbers it doesn't sound like there really is a lot of room. if the math is correct and it is roughly 575 feet between people, that's not to far. 2 football fields. then two people meet in the middle and drop a baby. wow. we could fill up fast.


so what is the death to birth ratio of the US? thanks again.

 

[tckfui]

oh oh I got a good one, within a square mile of my house there are 34,623 people... how many people per square foot that is? nobody knows

 

[tckfui]

hmph the numbers not as cool as I had anticipated, in a failed attempt to make it a better number I did it per square meter

I'm glad people can stay 575 ft. apart from each other.

Must sukk to live in a city where they're only 5 ft. from each other..
