For example, according to my research, California is the “most populous” state in the country but New Jersey shows up as the “most densely populated” state. I thought the latter essentially meant “the state with the biggest population” (same as the former). How do they differ? Are they related in any way?

Has to do with the amount of people in one space rather than the amount of people.
So the amount of people relative to the amount of space. Basically, there’s a ton of people in a small state like NJ so the population is dense.
CA just has a sheer amount of people, and just population # doesn’t take into account relative to the amount of space.
