===Idaho County===
Much of Idaho is sparsely populated. As an example of the [[low population density]] in [[the West]], one can cite [[Idaho County]], Idaho: This one [[county]] measures 8,485 square miles-bigger than [[Connecticut]] and [[Rhode Island]] combined. But it has a [[population]] of just 15,400. And of those residents, roughly 3,300 people live in [[Grangeville, Idaho|Grangeville]], the county seat. Who lives in the rest of the county? There are far more [[deer]] and [[elk]] than there are people. The [[population density]] of the county is 1.8 people per square mile. The county has more than 3 million [[acre]]s of [[United States Forest Service]] [[land]], [[BLM]] land, and designated [[federal]] [[wilderness]] areas.
