People per km^2:

Europe: 32 (edit: wrong)

US: 35

Not sure where you get that number for Europe. According to Wikipedia [1] it has a population density of about 73/km^2. European Russia also brings that number down a bit because it has a population density comparable to the US.

Oh my mistake, I just googled it and didn't read the page:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_and_population_of_Europea...

Seems they included all of Russia too.

I think the figures for Russia specifically are for the whole country. But I read the population density for Europe as a whole including only European Russia. (Including all of Russia in the total would skew the result enormously as Asian Russia is bigger than all of Europe and only has a population density of about 3/km^2--and probably has pretty spotty cell phone reception:-).)
