 | | According to the United States Census Bureau, the population of the mid-Atlantic region in 1990 was about 26,000,000 people, which represents about 10% of the total population of the United States. |
 | | As would be expected, the watersheds with the highest density of people located around the larger metropolitan areas - Norfolk, Washington-Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh - and the watersheds with the least density are located in rural and mountainous areas. |
 | | The watershed with the highest population density has over 3,500 people per square kilometer, while the watershed with the lowest population density has about 11 people per square kilometer. |
