More than half of the U.S. population (51%) resides in the nine most populated states.
Just about everyone knows that California has the most people of any state (36.55 million, 12% of the whole country).
Can you name the seven other states that have more than 10 million people? And then name the next state (ninth most populated), which has 9.5 million people?
(Based on July 1, 2007, estimates released by the Census Bureau today.)
Well, that census link was inscrutible. I couldn’t find a thing there.
my guesses ran out b4 10 states.
CA, NY, TX, FLA, OH, PA, ILL, then MASS? WASH? CO?
California 36,553,215
Texas 23,904,380
New York 19,297,729
Florida 18,251,243
Illinois 12,852,548
Pennsylvania 12,432,792
Ohio 11,466,917
Michigan 10,071,822
Georgia 9,544,750
Georgia’s No. 9? My guess was North Carolina. BTW, I love the snowflakes.
