Why So Few Americans Live In This HUGE Area In The Northern Part Of The Country

8 months of winter I can’t do

Don’t worry, when we all start running out of water it’ll fill up quick

We have a house and cabin in this area. It is a lovely place to live!

Less industrialization = less work = less people
Dense industrialization (the northeast for example) means more jobs all in one spot. Which leads to more people wanting to live there which leads to more businesses showing up because there's more people and so on and so forth. Most folks don't wanna drive 2 hrs to work EACH WAY, so they find work closer to home which makes them less likely to live in remote areas.

Nice. But does Mass have 7m Americans or 7m people residing in it?

One thing, the Empty North is 100 times better than living in a city like Atlanta with hoodlums on every corner, getting short in traffic and having to walk your kids two doors down for a play date! I’ll take it any day!

Whoa! 3/4 of Minnesota? Awesome state to raise a family!

We like it that way. I hope it stays that way.

fascinating!

Thanks

First place to get nuked cause of silos

Cuz its TFC!!! Too f@%#&ing cold!

Nah, stay out of the "empty North" we're fine.

we cant let refugees in because were full!....yeah.....eat THIS republkkkans! were NOT FULL

Big reasons. The west like most if Washington is owned by the government. BLM,DNR,USFS, DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, PARKS DEPARTMENT, WILDLIFE REFUGE AND WILDERNESS AREAS, RESERVATIONS. IN my area in the cascades of eastern Washington there's mostly rugged steep mountains, arid desert and few roads. The government owns 83% of chelan and Okanagan County 😮

That huge area also has a Supervolcano.

I live in Washington state, so I was curious if you were going to mention Spokane. I've visited before and it has an interesting landscape, being adjacent to mountainous regions.

Watched video 💯

Montana is full stay in the south.

There are some nice properties with big old farmhouse or farm ranch house with acerage and animals. Many people are snatching up the log cabins and what not. But true not overly populated

Well for one thing it's pretty cold.

You could also include nw colorado, there are no cities of even 100k anywhere between billings Mt and Albuquerque NM, but none of even 50k besides grand junction in western Colorado

I live damn near right in the middle of that haha

IT'S CALLED WINTER!!!
IN THOSE STATES YOU FREEZE YOUR ASS OFF FOR 6 MONTHS!!!
WHO WANTS TO LIVE WHERE YOUR FREEZING?

When you live in that 2% 😳

I have lived in Northeastern Minnesota my entire life (51 years) & I stayed here because it's not as crazy as the Twin Cities metro area. Yes, it gets crazy cold here - but you get used to it & it rarely keeps people at home. Life goes on no matter what temperature it is or how much snow is falling.
I live in St Louis County & just our one county is so big that it's bigger than several northeastern states - thankfully it's not the same population in that space!

I assume the map is trying to go around Duluth, but there's not a notch to the tip of Lake Superior because the city of Duluth is located on the water. Duluth is about 40+ square miles & the Lakeshore is included.

Just a guess here, but it’s isolated and cold af in the winter up there!

As it should be. We don't need to destroy the environment anymore than what's happened. Mid-Northern America is untainted and gorgeous. So stay where y'all are and leave it alone.

because it is cold. done. there's your video in 2 seconds.

This video acts like these lands were completely empty when the Americans arrived there completely ignoring the genocide of first nation kind of disgusting really. they didn't just explore the land and be like oh look at all this empty space no the moved in with their guns and their army's and cleared the native peoples off there land. wow look at all this newly empty space!! 🤦‍♂

its funny too. since most that area is also we alot of the more illegal shit happens for tree chopping and ore extracting but as of about 20 years back. the governments giving insentives to move up into the mid north of the USA. government sees how shits becoming a mega city time line and some states have no power due to no one living there.

btw the empty north would be a natural freezer for electronics aka servers... so ironiclly the empty north could be come a natural tech hub that could rival hot ass southern california

Fun fact: All parts of modern day Montana that fall west of the Great Continental Divide used to be strictly Idaho territory until territorial politicians in Idaho were bought out, and Montana stole places like Missoula, Thompson Falls, and half of Glacier National Park. So always remember; The prettiest parts of Montana are actually stolen Idaho.

The safest place in the USA is the most northern and slightly more west of your border in Washington State. I was surprised you didn't mention most of this region is considered the nuclear sponge and will absorb most of the damage if it would ever come to that situation. That's the reason I stay out given the times we live in.

MAYBE THEY THINK IT'S PART OF CANADA OR IT SHOULD BE GIVEN TO CANADA

Also the empty north is home to 450 minuteman 3 silos… that’s a lot to worry about for locals

i don't think you ever came to ND . because i live here and there are way too many people in this state you go to Minot, Fargo, Bismarck its bumper to bumper traffic . so i think you should do a better job reach search saying no one lives here.

This is where i need to be. For the natural beauty and less people.

No one even lives up there, yet the US government couldn't help themselves but kill or force Native people onto reservations. Couldn't just let them be and live their lives or recognize their wrong today and give the land back. Is there any entity that's more evil than the US government? They're the good guys now though. Free Ukraine$$$

That's the Yellowstone ranch😅😅😅

I’m southern but my dad is from California and my mom is from New York, am I have a dream of living in the west. I’m such a weird American and I’m totally willing to tolerate the climate because my dad knows what it’s like and I have him as a guide

The Amish will fill up the whole area in the next hundred years. At their current birth rate in 200 years, there will be 300 million Amish in the U.S. They are buying up all the land in Indiana where I live and reproducing at a rate or 7 or 8 children per family.

Really doubt the old West ended in the early 1910s like so many people believe it did.

I want to go. I'd probably freeze to death during winter though. The south east is empty too. Send the Venezuelans there.

And I certainly hope it will stay mostly empty & as untouched as possible: away from the problems of larger cities that we see across the country both historically & and especially, currently.

I'm sure the folks that live in the empty north love it that way and hope it stays the empty north.

There's also a small part of Utah bruhhh

😂😂

Because they don't want to freeze the butt of on a rocky mountainside.

shit was in NFS: The Run
