Over 50 million people live in that kind of radius from where I live, which is a small 200,000 city (470,000 metro/"MSA").
Nice research, but 150 miles seems a bit too generous to be of practical use. As has been commented, you would capture the most population when you center in between NYC and Philly and not when centered on NYC itself which should be the baseline for any comparison imo. Seems a bit engineered to generate a certain result like this... |
150 miles is about a 2-2.5 hour drive, Shiro. Americans do that quite regularly.
And yes, we are all aware that the part of Europe containing the Low Countries and Germany's Ruhr is very densely populated.

No Schengen area in North America, bud. National borders actually matter - less so for Canada, but nonetheless.
