Why Nobody Lives in These 10 Empty States.

Whatever your reason, before you call a realtor, you should do some research. This video can be your starting point.

I absolutely love “empty” and desolate States. Keep your cities of crime, inflated prices, traffic, and over pop. The peace and quiet of country living is amazing.

[ggeorge]

There is nothing so nice as living away from people. For me the more desolate the better. I have never had a dog, cat, or horse steal from me, report me to the town officials for my weeds being two tall, or cause any other problems. This is my main reason for loving this country, it's big and you can live alone in peace and quiet if you choose. And of course, for those who like crowds, they are there too.

I love these so called “ empty” states. I love driving through, looking at the farms, staying in the small towns, not fighting heavy traffic, watching the animals, etc. I see these as comforting and quiet….I hate the big cities and big city states. I also love the history of these states, and constantly think of the pioneers who came before, and what they had to deal with. I’d rather drive than fly….and driving through these “ flat” states relaxes me. This, to me, is real America.

Montana, just a heads up on anyone wanting to move here. -20 temps this weekend... -55 wind-chill. And be sure to look up how smokey it gets here in fire season in the summer.

Reminds of what someone told me about the flatlands of Canada. It is so flat here....I can watch my dog run away for days.

As soon as you hit the kansas state line, grab a 3 ft step ladder, climb up and you can spot the other state lines

I heard people describe Kansas as flat and mind-numbingly boring. Maybe along the interstate; but I rode a Honda Helix 250cc scooter across Kansas along US-36 and found the endless rolling hills beautiful and calming. Hills rolling east to west and streams zigzagging through what looked like interlocking fingers north to south. Lovely nature. Enjoyed perfectly clear weather with no distractions, radio, music or anything.

Been in all of the states mentioned. Kansas trip was usually in August when we were kids because of Dad's vacation schedule. It's actually a beautiful state if you go in the right season. He was born and raised in/around Stockton and his parents lived in Lincoln, but they usually bailed for the kids living on the west coast when winter hit. I think if you look into South Dakota, you might find that a fair number of citizens are registered there but live on the road. The state makes it very easy to do that. I could probably find a spot in each one of these states to set up house with the hardest one being Alaska due to travel requirements. Nebraska would come in last on my list, lol, I got chased through that state by a tornado and I'm still holding a grudge..

Kansas farms are largely one man and a very large piece of equipment. I disagree with you when you call it flat though. Traveling east to west across Kansas, you gradually ascend over 3000 feet. And if you've ever tried to ride a bicycle through the Flint hills, you'd know that Kansas is NOT all flat.

Lived and worked in Skagway, Alaska for a long summer. The country around there for hundreds of miles is pretty much straight up and straight down. It is also pretty much impenetrable forest. Spectacular, but hard to get into. The huge valley just to the south is, as are all of the valleys on the inlet, accessible by boat but very hard to get to on foot. I climbed way up above Skagway and walked crosscountry to that valley in the hope of seeing a way down into it. Steep forested walls going down into dark impenetrable forest. Spectacular, foreboding and empty.

My grandfather was from Nebraska, enlisted in the Navy after WWI was well over and took a train to San Diego CA for boot camp. He had never ridden a train before that. His youngest brother also enlisted and served during WWII, was in the battle at guadal canal. Crazy to think about how much different it used to be. I mean think about it, he was raised by the Civil war generation and I was lucky enough to be partially raised by him since my Dad skipped out. Strict and religious but fair values.

[danwei]

I am surprised that the Dust Bowl wasn't mentioned in regard to Kansas or Nebraska. That entire region had to hit the reset button in the 1930s.

[glenmorewhite]

But they say earth is over populated. Still trying to get that one figured out

[annhowcroft]

Most of these states have very cold winters.

[uFriday]

Montana is still flying under the radar. They have some hidden gem places around that state and I personally like them.

[gemox]

This was an interesting video. For some reason, I didn't know that our government owned that much land in Nevada. I find that a bit spooky for some reason.

I think we all knew Alaska by far had the lowest population density. But a fun fact about that, so in Alaska, their counties are called Boroughs, and the borough with the lowest population density, aka the lowest population density county-equivalent in the US, the Koyukuk borough, covers 147, 000 square miles through central Alaska, which is about the same size as Montana, and only has 5, 179 residents in that whole area. That is crazy to think about. Even Alaska’s North Slope borough that covers the state’s arctic tundra, has a bigger population density than the Koyukuk, albeit not by much. I just happened to do research on this randomly one night back around Thanksgiving time, and it stuck in my head. Figured I’d share it here.

And gee, I’ve always felt like many of the counties in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula felt so remote and sparsely populated when I’ve visited them, an example being Luce County, of which I’ve been on road trips where we drove through Luce County from the small town of Newberry 30ish miles up to the Lake Superior shoreline, with that entire 30 mile distance being remote wilderness. But I bet even Luce County would be like a metropolis compared to many of Alaska’s boroughs, which are much bigger in size. I haven’t looked up the stats for Luce County to compare with, but it’s personally one of the most remote areas I’ve personally been to, and to think there are places out there that are far more remote and sparsely populated is crazy

Brutal in MT?! Indeed. This weekend, the NW corner is experiencing wind chill of -60 to -75 degrees F. all weekend long!

[flyingspirit]

Fascinating video; brings a unique perspective to parts of the United States that many of us will never see.

"The Court Jester", great movie. They said "get it, got it, good". Keep paying homage. Love it
