Is it 50% or maybe 60%? Is the number higher or lower? If you like to watch the national News or listen to NPR or maybe you subscribe to a science magazine then your guess was probably on the low end. Do you want the truth?
Look at the picture in this post; it is Hope, ME, and for me, it represents the answer to my question. Look at the picture and render another guess. You see all that open space in between the houses, streets and farms... it is undeveloped land. OK, I have wasted enough time. It is time for me to give you the answer. Scroll down for the answer to this interesting question.
The answer is 94.6 percent! According to the Census Bureau, 94.6 percent of the United States is rural open space. If you do not believe me then click HERE and see for yourself.
Now consider your guess and how close you were to the answer. If you were close to the answer then I will predict that you hardly ever listen to NPR, watch TV or subscribe to a well known science magazine. However, if you were way off then I will predict that you do watch one of the big three for your news (ABC, NBC or CBS), listen to NPR and subscribe to a well known science magazine. Makes you wonder about the accuracy of their other stories, or at least it should.
