When building https://randomairport.onrender.com/ I noticed that US and Euro airports always look very different

Somehow US airports always seem to be surrounded by densely populated residential areas, even in the direction of the runways, while Euro airports don’t seem to have this problem. And secondly Us airports always seem to take huge plots of land compared to Euro airports.

My assumption is that Us cities are just bigger, both in population and in the amount of surface they claim (lower population density)
