With only about 7.5% of the land settled,


7.5%? Where did you get that figure from?


I'd like to know that as well. Seems a bit high to me.

Do farms not count as settled?


In this context, only the part with the farmhouse on it.


Why? Settled land means that thats lived on. That doesn't just mean the house
it means all land under the same deeds. Otherwise you can't count gardens
as settled land either.
