The total population of West Virginia in the 2000 census was 1,808,344. Although only 37th in population and 41st in area, West Virginia is the 27th most densely populated state.
This map clearly shows how West Virginia's population is concentrated towards the borders, with a wide swatch of sparsely populated areas through the middle of the state. Much of the population lives much closer to a state border than to any other densely populated area.
That's a lot different than most coastal states with major cities huge the coast, line the fall line, or sit on major rivers flowing directly to ocean.
