On a population, not a per-mile basis (though it is a bit higher than the average for industrialized countries, it ain't double).

Here, the US being big works against us, as does being unnecessarily spread out and driving a lot more "just because".

Yeah but 81% of Americans live in urban areas.

Yes, but even US urban areas tend to be larger, unnecessarily spread out, and involve more driving (all mentioned above).
