Sparsely populated simply means that there aren't very many people living there. Usually this is because the climate (desert, polar region) or the terrain (mountaintop, swamp) makes it difficult to support a large population.

Sparsely populated means very few human inhabitants when compared to the land area in which they are living.

New York would therefore be densely populated as compared to Greenland which is sparsely populated.
