2008 Population of Each US State According to the Census Bureau

eddie — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 16:56:08 +0000

USA Today reports that the US Census Bureau has released population estimates for 2008.

Since 2000, the fastest-growing states in the US have been Utah, Arizona, Texas, North Carolina, and Colorado.

Other Notes:

The only two states to lose population were Michigan and Rhode Island. Michigan’s population declined 0.5 percent (46,000), while Rhode Island’s fell 0.2 percent (2,000).
California remained the most populous state, with about 36.8 million people on July 1, 2008. Rounding out the top five states were Texas (24.3 million), New York (19.5 million), Florida (18.3 million) and Illinois (12.9 million).
On the whole, the Northeastern states have gained population at an increasing rate since 2005, a turnaround from their declining growth rates from 2000 to 2005.
Six of the 10 fastest-growing states from 2007 to 2008 were Rocky Mountain states: Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, Utah and Wyoming. Three others lined the South Atlantic coast: Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina.
The West was the fastest-growing region (1.4 percent) between 2007 and 2008, but the South added the highest number of people over the period (1.4 million).

Who won the first 2008 Presidential Debate? Do polls show Barack Obama or John McCain?

eddie — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 17:42:57 +0000

One day after the first presidential debate in 2008, opinion polls as to who won are mixed. Many polls show Barack Obama coming out on top, while others indicate the John McCain stole the show.

Below is a collection of various polls that I’ve tracked down. If you find any others, post them in the comment section.

The Drudge Report is running a poll that indicates, after over 300,000 votes, that a whopping 68% of respondents believe that John McCain won the debate.

A poll at CNN.com, on the other hand, shows that 51% of people thought that Obama won, while only 38% considered McCain the winner. However, CNN does admit that their sample was probably biased.

The CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey is not a measurement of the views of all Americans, since only people who watched the debate were questioned and the audience included more Democrats than Republicans.

Fifty-one percent of those polled thought Obama did the better job in Friday night’s debate, while 38 percent said John McCain did better.

An MSNBC poll with over 800,000 responses shows that 52 considered Obama the winner of the first debate:

The this article entitled “The Next Day, a New Debate on Who Won”.

The presidential campaigns roared out of here Saturday morning in a pitched fight to make the case that the other candidate had lost the first presidential debate of the general election.

At the crack of dawn, Senator Barack Obama’s campaign released a new advertisement criticizing Senator John McCain for failing to utter the words “middle class” in the 90-minute debate, held Friday at the University of Mississippi here. By then, Mr. McCain had already produced and released an Internet video citing several instances in which Mr. Obama had said he agreed with his rival’s positions.

Got any other interesting polls results? Put them in the comments.

Map Showing the Modern Distribution of World Religions

eddie — Sun, 25 Jun 2006 02:58:06 +0000

I happened across this great map showing the distributions of the world’s religions. As one would expect, Christianity dominates the Americas, Europe, Northern Asia and Australia, while Islam dominates the Middle East and Northern Africa. Hinduism is big in India, and surprise surprse, the generic term “Chinese Religions” is most popular in, of all places, China.

I would have liked to have seen a little finer breakdown of some of the categories, but that aside, the map is pretty good. It breaks Christianity into Protestant, Eastern Orthodox, and Roman Catholic and Islam into Sunni and Shia. Of course many of these categories could be forther subdivided (especially Protestantism) but this is great for a general overall picture.

This is a small version of the map and key. To see the full sized version, visit Wadsworth.com.

US Population nears 300 Million

eddie — Sat, 17 Jun 2006 21:28:33 +0000

I checked the US Census Bureau’s population clock project today, and saw that the nation has just reached 299 million people.

U.S. POPClock Projection

According to the U.S. Bureau of the Census, the resident population of the United States, projected to 06/17/06 at 21:19 GMT (EST+5) is
299,000,750
COMPONENT SETTINGS FOR JUNE 2006

One birth every……………………………. 8 seconds
One death every……………………………. 13 seconds
One international migrant (net) every………… 30 seconds
Net gain of one person every………………… 11 seconds

Using the stated figures, this means that the US population grows by 28,800 people every day. (There are 86,400 seconds in one day, divided by 11 seconds per person.)

At this rate, it will take only about 35 days to reach 300 million people. So the US should gain its 300 millionth person right around July 22nd or so.

I think it would be kinda cool if we reached 300,000,000 on Independence Day, don’t you?

Most Expensive Zip Codes in the U.S.

eddie — Sun, 11 Jun 2006 00:10:07 +0000

Looking to move on up?

If so, you’ve better have a lot of case on hand. According to Forbes magazine, the median price tag of a home in the most expensive zip code in the US (94027, (Atherton, CA) tops $2 million dollars. You read that right, that’s the median home price.

If you don’t have $2 million laying around but still want to live in a top 20 zip, you could always slum it down in Los Altos for a paltry $1.4 million. Chump change to those in Atherton, I’m sure.

List of the Largest Metro Areas in the United States

eddie — Mon, 05 Jun 2006 03:52:41 +0000

Big cities are one thing – I have a list of the largest cities in the US here. But big Metro areas area a completely different breed of animal.

There is a lot of disagreement over exactly how the measure “Metropolitan Area” should be defined. Some cities include only their immediate neighbors, while others include cities that are up to 60 miles away. (!)

I’m no expert, but as a long-time Washington, DC resident, I can tell you that it’s very misleading to include 40 mile away Baltimore City in the Washington Metro area. And it’s utterly RIDICULOUS to include ANY part of West Virginia — come on people, look at a map. West Virginia is NOT part of Washington, DC.

But that doesn’t stop the powers-that-be from including far-flung areas in their definition of “metro area.”

This list is interesting, but take it with a grain of salt.

List of the 50 Largest Cities in the United States

eddie — Sun, 04 Jun 2006 19:55:24 +0000

The top four largest cities in the United States – New York, LA, Chicago, and Houston – aren’t going to be unseated any time soon. But change is afoot as the nation’s population shifts towards the Southwest part of the country.

Of the top 10 largest cities, 7 are in California, Arizona, and Texas. Cities like Phoenix and San Antonio have such a phenomenal growth rate that their populations have more than quintupled over the last 15 years, while northern cities like Detroit and Philly are steadily losing residents and decreasing in size.

Look for this trend to continue as newly arrived immigrants settle in the Southwest, and people continue to flee northern cities for warmer southern pastures.

List of the World’s 100 Most Populated Metro Areas

eddie — Sat, 03 Jun 2006 02:23:30 +0000

New York City may not top the list of largest cities in the world, but it rounds out the top three on a list of “largest metropolitan areas.”

Joining NYC on the list, we have Los Angeles coming in at 12, sweet home Chicago at 25, and Miami at 42. Miami as the fourth largest metro area in the United States? Are you kidding me?

Wow, I guess sometimes truth IS stranger than fiction. But then again, when you define the entire southern tip of Florida as your metro area, you’re gonna pick up a few stragglers.

Rounding out the top 60 are Philly, Dallas, Boston, Atlanta, and Houston. (Yes, that’s the same Houston that is the fourth largest city in the nation.) Washington DC barely misses the mark at 61.

I guess this list goes to show, it’s not about the raw numbers, it’s all how you define the parameters.
