The distribution of the US population is primarily determined by physical factors like climate and terrain. Areas with mild temperatures and some precipitation along coasts and plains tend to be more populated. However, economic factors also influence population patterns, as population densities are generally higher in states with greater personal income per capita. In conclusion, while physical geography guides most settlement patterns, other socioeconomic considerations impact the US population distribution as well.
