Size of Arizona+Colorado+New Mexico+Utah:

        421,263 square miles

World Population:

        ~6 billion

Population Density if everyone on earth lived in just those four
states:

        14,242 people / sq mi

Current Population Density of Hong Kong:

        15,158 people / sq mi


So, if the entire world's population were moved to just Arizona,
Colorado, New Mexico and Utah the population density would be less
than the current population density of Hong Kong.

Size of Alaska:   570,374 sq mi
Size of Texas:    261,914 sq mi
