Alaska has a Low Population Density
If you do the quick math around Alaska’s square mile area and the aforementioned total population, you come up with a remarkable number. One. That’s one person per square mile as a population density for Alaska. Mathematically, that means you could go out for a walk and not meet anyone else at all.
For perspective, the next least dense state in terms of population is Wyoming. That state (which has its own wilderness charms) has a rate of six people per square mile. It’s crowded, by comparison.
