The least densely populated county is the Bezirk Imst in Tyrol with 11⅞ I./km² (compare the state of Kansas with 14 Inh./km² or the Highland council area (Scotland) with 9¼ I./km²)
The most densely populated state/province (excluding city-states) is Saxony with 320 I./km² (compare Massachusetts with 336 I./km² or Lazio (Italy) with 342 I./km²)

War auch 'ne Heidenarbeit. Die deutschen Archive waren recht gut geführt, die österreichischen eher weniger.

Ah nice that you continue it, funny how Bavaria has been really just very agricultural before the Sudetengermans came in in OTL.

Looks amazing and helps to illustrate the important areas.
Sad to realize that some places like Saxony lost a lot of this importance(and even population) since 1910 ... and let's not start with the Sudetenland.

I actually made a table about the different population developments in West- and East Germany. If you are interested, please have a look.

Nice map!
I have a question though: How was Pressburg, Burgenland, Sopron, Moson, Magyarovar, St. Gotthard, and Prekmurje (the eastern fringes of contiguous German and Slovene populations) populated back in 1910? How dense was this region (I'd call it Greater Burgenland) compared to Germany and Austria?

The Burgenland had a population density (1910) of 73,7 I./km^2.
The Counties (Komitate) of Preßburg (Pozsony), Wieselburg (Moson), Ödenburg (Sopron) and Eisenburg (Vas) had a combined density of 63,1 I./km^2.
The German Empire had a population density of 120 I./km^2.
The Austrian Empire had a population density of 97.3 I/km^2.
The combined density is 113,9 I./km^2.
There are however, as you can see on the map stark contrasts between regions within those states.
If you were to for example subtract Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia from Austria, the density would drop to 76,8 I./km^2
In conclusion, you could say that the border regions between Austria and Hungary were in comparison the rest of Germany and Austria moderately populated, comparable to the provinces of Posen or Hannover.
