I went with Virginia. Florida would bemy second choice but in FL there are very crowded areas like Miami/Ft Lauderdale and Tampa/St Pete/Clearwater but also very wide areas with sparse population like the Big Bend area north right up through the Panhandle.
Virginia is more rural than Florida by a long shot.....
Let me sum up your 100 words into 10: Any one can make a subjective statistic and be right.
This is my point and you just made another example. This is a thread destined for subjectivity.
When someone says state, you do state and you can only use objective statistics; there are only two objective statistics and one is 20 years old. I am highly surprised there isn't an updated urban vs rural statistic for 2000 so if you can find it for TexasReb, he may give you kudos.
Oh I agree, everything is subjective. I wasn't stating this for merely proving a point. I just did it for others to be aware that not all of Texas population is spread out. This is a very subjective thread, depending on what we mean by urban, GA could be #1 because ALOT of GA lives in the Atlanta area.
Virgina has Norfolk-Virginia Beach- Newport News, Richmond- Petersburg, Arlington- Alexandria, Roanoke, Winchester, Charlottesville, etc.
This is very subjective. If we're going off the percentage of people living in a major metro area, then GA wins because nearly 60% of it's people in the ATL area. If were going off states with the most metros, it's TX, FL, or NC..
Also, Virginia is much more rural than FL...Richmond and Hampton roads combined is only around 3 million people and that's two metros....
South Florida alone has twice as many people and if you add in Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, Daytona Beach it's no contest...

Its not a long shot by any means. Not when you factor the area from Richmond north to the DC suburbs. Now, that said, southeast Florida is about as densely populated however it makes up only a fraction of the area of the state. To me, Orlando and Jacksonville don't feel urban at all, more like suburban sprawl.

Well it depends what the OP meant by urban. Did he mean URBANIZED? If that's what he meant, then the suburban sprawl areas count as urbanization.
