USA has around 100M more people, but the size comparison isn't even close. I can't fathom how they sustain that population in such a small space.

High population density, I'd imagine. The US has more people, but they're much more spread out.

Pakistan is pretty densely populated, but I'm pretty sure the US is pretty sparsely populated too. Compare it to populations like Germany's, which are a fraction of the size yet nearly a third of the population.

Not very well. But you also need to remember how incredibly spread out much of the American population is. For every packed area like the cities on the coasts, you've got vast empty spaces in many states.

A majority of the US population is condensed into major urban areas. Now just imagine that these urban areas are really close together.

The US is not densely populated though. Look at Bangladesh if you think Pakistan is too dense

Nobody really gets their mind blown until they start looking into some of the East Asian super dense urban centers.

Most of that area in the US is fairly empty. Metropolitan areas hold most of the population. In the US, the 10 biggest metropolitan areas have about 87 million people. Basically 25% of the entire countrys population within 10 cities metropolitan areas.

Just about every country is like that. And Pakistan has those cities less spread out. Doesnt hurt that their two most populated cities are fairly bigger than NYC, which is vastly bigger than any other US city.

Imagine trying to cram 230M people into an area the size of California, Washington and Oregon.

You could easily do that if it was necessary.

If it was a flat desert with no mountains or obstacles then it's possible imagine if the grand canyon wasn't a big hole on the ground how many people could live on that space alone

Pakistan total area = 881,913 km sq

California total area = 403,932 km sq
Oregon total area = 254,806 km sq
Washington total area = 172,587 km sq

EDIT

Those 3 states are about 94% of the size. So yep, pretty close.

Think how Australia feels, when it looks at America (330 million), being only 1.3 times the size of Australia, and yet having not even 10th of the population (Australia having 25 million).

California total area = 155,959 km sq
Oregon total area = 95,997 km sq
Washington total area = 66,544 km sq

Those 3 states are barely 1/3 of the size of Pakistan

your figures for the states should be in sq miles, not km. The areas are roughly equivalent.

My bad. Used Wikipedia, and it shows km first, then miles for Pakistan, but miles first for the states. I used the first numbers for all of them after starting with Pakistan. I amended my previous post to reflect the correct info.
