Replying to @austinbdean #greenscreen Looking at #Nevada ’s insane population distribution! Nevada ranks 32nd by population among states, but is the MOST centralized states, with 88% of residents living in/around either #LasVegas , or #Reno . The Las #Vegas #metro , which includes all of #ClarkCounty and cities like #Henderson , #NorthLasVegas , and #Enterprise , is home to 2.2m residents, 73% of the state, while the Reno area, which includes #Sparks , is home to another 15% of the state. The remaining 12% of Nevada lives in just a handful of towns scattered throughout the #GreatBasin and #SierraNevada #mountains that define the state’s geography, including #CarsonCity , Nevada’s capital, #VirginiaCity , #Pahrump , #Elko , #Ely , and #Tonopah . Most of Nevada remains completely empty to this day, however, and 86% of the state is #federalland , with counties like #Esmeralda being home to just 700 people, #Eureka county being home to just 2,000, and #Lincoln , right above #Clark , being home to just 5,000. Nevada is, literally, the most lopsided state by #population , and no population map of any state will reflect what is seen in this video (except maaaaybe one other). What state should I cover next? #states #state #county #city #cities #west #southwest #hooverdam #coloradoriver #nevadacheck #sincity #population #populationmap #populationdensity #desert #mountain #california #geography #geographyjoe #usa #us #50states #series
