People Per Square Mile

Wikipedia, FTW.

I like these broad pieces of knowledge that fundamentally shift the way you see and understand and can talk about things. No wonder my pictures from the past few years are of people, yes, but tiny people in front of empty and unbelievably large backdrops.

And it's no wonder that the political process is more accessible here.

Ladies and Gentleman, Oregon... with a whopping 39 people per square mile, in contrast with the US average which is 86.2, in further contrast with DC which has 9,581.3!
