RE: Definitions: or what the He!! do they think they are doing?
West Virginia, has an average population density of 77 persons per square mile or 29.8 per square kilometer. West Virginia is one of the few US states not to have a city with more than 100,000 residents. In fact, the largest city in the state, Charleston (the state capital) is home to just 49,736 people. The next largest cities are Huntington (48,638) and Parkersburg (30.991).

The majority of West Virginia's counties are designated as rural, with a small majority of the state's population living in a rural area. In 2010, the state had a 51% rural population, compared to 49% urban.

The most populated counties in West Virginia are Kanawha and Berkeley, with respective populations of 183,293 and 114,920.

Berkeley County, is no longer rural east of I81, but is really a suburb within the commuting radius to Washington, DC, having a density of 236 per square mile.

The western edge of Berkeley county along the Allegheny front, where I live, is more rural, resembling adjacent Morgan county, which has 65 persons per square mile. The isolated, rugged, mountainous counties are sparcely populated, Pocahontas County has only 9.5 persons per square mile.
