The urban population of Arkansas has risen steadily. The rural population declined from the 1940s through the 1960s, but in the 1970s it again increased. Nevertheless, the urbanizing trend continued. By 2000, 53 percent of the people of Arkansas lived in areas defined as urban. The average population density in 2004 was 20 persons per sq km (53 per sq mi).
In the 2000 national census, Arkansas had 2,673,400 inhabitants, compared with 2,350,725 in 1990.
Thanks for calling my state "backwoods". |

25% of 2,673,400 people is only 668,350. Out of that how many of those live out in the boonies....
I think BBR is blowing this out of proportion...thats not alot of people....and most of those probably live out in the boonies away from civilization anyway... |
