And if you look at the Census map, there's a lot of yellow near Los Angeles, because those are sheer mountainsides, but there is a lot of green in New Jersey.

That's NJ density. The
least dense NJ county is denser than every single South Atlantic state, except for Florida, Maryland and Delaware. That county is much denser than the old and heavily populated Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia.
The only place with density comparable to the West non-urbanized area is Wharton Forest. A forest that started regrowing by the late 19th century. A big urban park basically and it covers only 2% of New Jersey.
BTW, 500 people/sqm is your average Atlanta suburb.
