Florida (Population density: 404 people per square mile)

Understand this includes areas such as Jacksonville, Miami, Tampa, and Orlando. These metros are replete with apartments and condos and lighter on SFHs. On the other hand, MUCH of Florida is uninhabited swampland, and many rural parts are subdivided into large plots of acreage with greenbelt laws protecting them from further subdividing.

If you stay out of the major metros, you'll find a lot of farms and God-fearing, red-blooded Americans. Most of us were prepared long ago and are going about our daily lives.

To further this point, the Census has Miami-Dade as the most densely populated county at 1454.54 per sq km which is approximately 904 per sq mile. They are throwing off averages for the state overall. There's PLENTY of room to grow in Florida if you can tolerate the mosquitoes.
