Rainfall Governs Population Distribution in U S
Census data show three fourths of Americans live where yearly rainfall is 30 to 40 inches. Population density peaks at 59 per square mile with 40 to 45 inches. 441 per square mile at 30 to 40 inches, while ultra dry regions under twenty inches hold under three hundredths of the population. Growth rises fastest in plains from Texas to Dakota with 16 to 18 per square mile. Moderate climate and rainfall best support population increase.
