Given World population is 6,600,000,000 and surface area of California is about 158,600 square miles:
How much space would be allocated to each person if the entire world population moved to California?
:
Convert sq miles to sq feet, divide by the pop
:
%285280%2A5280%2A158600%29%2F6600000000 = 670 sq/ft per person
:
That would be about a square area of 26 ft by 26 ft, about the size of a large living room.
