There's more rural areas than there are cities. So even though they have less population density, they end up being greater.
This is of course only at the state level, the national level is different.
How is it different on the national level?
It's not just about populations, it's about States as well.
So there are big states with big populations, but there are more smaller states with small populations. So even though the big states may have a total population bigger than the total population of the smaller states, the smaller states can still override the big states because there are more of them.
Roughly half the population lives in just 9 states, the other half in the other 41.
