Areas like [[Wyoming]], [[Montana]] and [[Idado]] in the [[American Redoubt]] have the lowest population density in the [[United States]]; whereas [[state]]s like [[California]] and [[New York]] have the highest. Population density is high in the [[urban]] areas like [[city|cities]] and [[suburb]]s and is low in the [[rural]], [[agriculture|agricultural]] and [[ranching]] areas.

==Preparedness Movement is focused on Population Density==
The [[Preparedness movement]], [[survivalist]]s and [[prepper]]s, and the [[strategic relocation]] "[[Vote with your feet]]" [[Essay:Free State Movement|free state movement]] is focused on [[migration]] from [[crime]]-ridden high density urban areas to low crime rural or remote areas. Their choice for low population density is usually in places such as the [[American Redoubt]] states of [[Idaho]], [[Wyoming]], [[Montana]], [[Oregon|Eastern Oregon]], [[Washington State|Eastern Washington]], [[Utah]], [[Kentucky]], [[Tennessee]] ([[Cumberland Plateau]]) and other low density states like [[Arizona]], [[Colorado]], [[South Dakota]], [[North Dakota]] and [[Alaska]].
Population density is the single most important factor in choosing a [[survivalist retreat]] or [[homestead]] according to [[New York Times]] best-selling author [[James Wesley Rawles]] of [[The Survival Blog]], [[Jack Spirko]] of [[The Survival Podcast]], [[Boston T. Party]] of [[Free State Wyoming]], [[Joel Skousen]] of [[World Affairs Brief]], and [[M.D. Creekmore]] of [[TheSurvivalistBlog.net]]
