I am wondering: what is the size of the area of Canada near the U.S. border where most Canadians actually live? I have read that 80% -90% of Canadians live within 100 miles of the U.S. Border. However, I am unable to get any statistics for the size of that geographical area. On this map: http://www.canadainfolink.ca/chartten.htm the size of the areas of Canada where people actually live seems really small. Most people live in Ontario or Quebec, but most of Quebec is uninhabited frozen tundra. I am only able to find population statistics for each province of Canada, which doesn't help much.
So, what is the geographical size of the area near the U.S. border where 90% of Canadians live, and which U.S. state is about the same size and population of that area?
The population of Canada is about the same as the population of California. It seems that the populated regions of Canada are about the same geographical size of California, as well, but without statistics, I can't be sure.
