Everything about The Frontier Strip totally explained
The
Frontier Strip refers to the six
states in the
United States forming a north-south line from
North Dakota to
Texas.==Description==
The Frontier Strip states
form a nearly straight line from
north to
south and roughly correspond to the
Great Plains region of the United States. The term
Frontier Strip is probably correlated to the 1880
census, where these six states, some of which were territories at the time, were part of the "Frontier Line," the geographic designation by the
U.S. Census Bureau that proclaimed where the civilization of the Eastern United States ended and the historic
American Wild West began. In the 1890 census, it stated, "Up to and including 1880 the country had a frontier of settlement, but at present the unsettled area has been so broken into by isolated bodies of settlement that there can hardly be said to be a frontier line. In the discussion of its extent, its westward movement, etc., it can not, therefore, any longer have a place in the census reports."
The Frontier Strip's land area is 1,642,083.585 km² (634,012.017 sq mi), or 17.92% of U.S. land area. Its population as of the 2000 census was 30,099,199 or 10.695% of U.S. population. Its average
population density was 18.33/km² (47.47/sq mi), compared to the U.S. average of 30.72/km² (79.56/sq mi). Its population is heavily tilted towards the south, with both population and population density increasing as one goes state by state from North Dakota in the north towards Texas in the south. Texas by itself has 69.28% of the region's population, living on 41.29% of its land area.
