The East Coast's massive coastal population imbalance
In short: Why do three states covering over 30% of the East Coast landmass hold only 15% of its population? This video explores the striking demographic gap between the bustling Northeast and the relatively untouched coastal regions of the South.
The region comprising Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina presents a geographic anomaly. While these states occupy a significant portion of the coastline, they house only about 10 million people combined. This stands in sharp contrast to the high-density populations found in Florida and the Northeastern states.
This population imbalance is not a new phenomenon; it has persisted for quite some time. The video examines the factors behind why these coastal areas have not attracted the same level of residency as their more populous neighbors.
