Why So Few Americans Live in This Massive Region in the Middle of the U.S.

Why does a massive 350,000-square-mile region in the heart of the United States remain nearly uninhabited? In this video, we explore the mysterious Great American Void—a stretch of land larger than Texas, yet home to fewer people than the city of Los Angeles.

You'll learn:

Why the U.S. population is so unevenly distributed

The geographic, climatic, and historical reasons behind this empty corridor

How Native American resistance, the rain shadow effect, and extreme weather created a natural barrier to development

Why cities like Denver, Phoenix, and Salt Lake City succeeded where others didn't

How this empty region affects U.S. politics, the economy, and future energy opportunities

If you've ever wondered why so few Americans live in the middle of the country—or why major U.S. cities seem to cluster along the coasts—this deep dive reveals the hidden forces that shaped America’s population map.
