14. Virginia ($22,000 per acre)
Virginia is known as the Mother of States because eight US presidents were born here. So, is that good enough to boost the state’s land value? Hadn’t 10% of its land been federally owned, it might have been enough.
There are around 25.3 million acres of land in Virginia, making it the 13th smallest state in United States. And with estimated $22,000 land value per acre, the Old Dominion has a total of $555 billion land value. That is the 11th highest compared to other states.
As for the state’s population density, it is the 14th highest in United States with 207 inhabitants per square mile. Among them are Dave Grohl, Jason Mraz, Missy Elliott, Pharell Williams, and one of the richest wrestlers, Dave Batista.
