Answer:

The population of the United States and Canada is distributed very differently. The United States has a population of over 334 million people distributed across many regions. The most densely populated areas are along the East Coast, West Coast, and around the Great Lakes. Major urban corridors include the Northeast Megalopolis from Boston to Washington, D.C., the Pacific coast, and large metropolitan areas in Texas. However, Canada has a much smaller population of about 39 million people, and most of its population is very concentrated in the southern part of the country. Over 80 percent of Canadians live within about 100 miles of the United States border, especially in Southwestern Ontario, the Quebec City-Windsor corridor, and British Columbia's Lower Mainland. Northern Canada is sparsely populated because of its harsh Arctic/subarctic climate, permafrost, and limited economic and living opportunities.
