Louisiana.  In fact, the 2000 population density of your county was 198 people <br/>
per square mile.  In my parish, it was 39.  The largest &quot;minor market town&quot; <br/>
within 14 miles of you is Torrington, population 35,202.  Leesville, seven miles <br/>
from me, has a population of 6,753.  I&#39;d have to go 60 miles to find a city to <br/>
match Torrington.  If Torrington were a Louisiana municipality, it would be the <br/>
tenth largest in the state.  If Litchfield County were a Louisiana parish, it <br/>
would be the eighth most densely populated out of 64.  That makes y&#39;all <br/>
practically &quot;city folk&quot; by Louisiana standards--even if you do have cattle.  :-)<br/>
<br/>
If that makes this &quot;backward rural America,&quot; so be it.<br/>
