Does anyone have a link to the 2005 census estimates? -- Emplynx 04:15, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
The numbers for "house seats" in the table reflect the numbers calculated off 2000 census data. But the population shown in the same table does not show 2000 census data. If you calculate house seats on your own, using data only in the table shown here, your numbers will not jive. http://www.census.gov/population/www/censusdata/apportionment.html. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.185.215.83 ( talk) 17:41, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Does this page still use 2000 data because it is more accurate (and official) than the 2004 American Community Survey? Some rankings have changed in the intervening 4 years (GA is now 9th ahead of NJ). I'd be willing to update if anyone agrees it is more valuable (or maybe put both in the table). - Jcbarr 01:27, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
The diennial (ie, 1990, 2000, 2010) census data is more official because it is (or at least attempts to be) an actual count rather than an estimate, and is generally considered the standard data source for these types of lists. It should definitely be included, but you could put the ACS estimates alongside them. -- Shuageo 05:20, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
I find it hard to believe that cities like Atlanta, Boston and Denver don't have a population over 1.000.000. There's always a difference between agglomerations and cities of course, but the numbers in this table seem very low, or rather : very old. I can name an endless list of equally reliable/unreliable sources, all contradicting each other, but on this they all agree.
This is not where I should be posting this but I would find it helpful if this list also had population densities on it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.35.217.152 ( talk) 04:14, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
Since DC is already on here, would anyone object to adding the other populated US non-state jurisdictions (Guam, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, Northern Marianas, American Samoa ... am I missing anybody?) in the same way?

what is the "largest" skyline mean? is that a quantifiable measure? and to say "outside New York on the east coast" is ambiguous. Of course New York *is* on the East Coast (capitalized because it refers to a region) but I do not think that is what the contributor meant. But really, what is meant, and what is the point?

The ability to sort a table is a great addition. It works well in this table for the Pop/Seat and Pop/Vote columns as each of the cells all contain the same number of digits. However, the sorting is inaccurate for the Pop column. The guide at the link below claims that adding leading codes addresses the issue of sorting numbers with commas (which are treated as strings). However, I have experimented extensively with this table trying various numbers of leading entries but to no avail. The only workable solution I found was to remove commas from the numbers. That gives accurate sorting, but it makes the numbers difficult to read.

Looks like it will happen soon, when do we get the numbers.
The numbers in the state pages and this page don't match. For instance, it says on Massachusetts' page that it is ranked 13th with whatever the population was, while on this page it says 14th with a different figure. The above comment mentions how Washington will pass Massachusetts. Is this just speculation and the reason for the edit? If so, it does not seem right to change it based on that. I thought we had to wait until the 2010 Census. Anyways, this article and the populations on state pages may need some serious revising. It seems terribly off-kilt.

I believe that the "territory" column is warped; shouldn't Alaska be given the #1 spot, not California? — Scouter Sig 04:42, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
This list explicitly references "States" and so should only include states at least in my opinion. Perhaps a secondary list attached to this page could include the territories of the United States and other possessions? My main complaint stems from the fact that as someone just looking at technical "states" that this list is confusing and the percentage figures are off. Arguably they are not off that much but still this bothers me. At very least perhaps the title need be change? - A random person

The total of the populations listed is 308437502; California's 36756666 is 11.92% of that, not 11.95%; 24326974 for Texas should be 7.89%, not 7.81%, and so on down the line.

Michigan and Georgia have the wrong ranks listed under 2010. Per the 2010 census, Michigan is No. 8 in population and Georgia is No. 9. This list erroneously shows Michigan as No. 9 for 2010 and Georgia as No. 8.
The latter are the rankings for the 2013 population estimates, not for 2010.

The 2010 US States only total is off by the 2,943 from Delaware. Add them up using the numbers here and you'd get 308,146,758 instead of 308,143,815. So it is inconsistent.

There has got to be a better way to display changes in ranking from 2000 to 2010 besides the jumble of numbers in the far left-hand column. The jumble ruins the aesthetics of the chart, and it's not consistent with how we show these type of changes.

The 50+-slice pie chart in this article is a classic example of pie chart overuse.

It would be interesting IMO to show the cumulative percentages of electoral votes and population. E.g. going from the top down, it takes 11 states consisting of 56% or so of the population to achieve 50% of the EV.

Currently, there are columns for "House seats 2003–2013" and "2010 Census Pop. per House seat"—however, since reapportionment is complete, see Seat Changes After 2010 Census, this could be updated to reflect the relevant data and statistics for representation in the U.S. House of Representatives after the 2012–2020 elections. Therefore, I believe that there should be a new column, reflecting the number of House seats following the 2012 election, and I believe that the "2012 Census Pop. per House seat" should be made to reflect population per House seat after reapportionment.
Specifically with regards to the "2003–2013" range: I recommend changing this to "2002–2012," and making the new column "2013–2021." While yes, technically states will have their current House representation through the very beginning of 2013, that is somewhat misleading: After noon on January 3rd, 2013, the number of U.S. Representatives each state has in the House will reflect reapportionment. See U.S. Const. amend. XX; see also Seat Changes, supra.
I appreciate anyone who looks into doing this: I would myself, but I just created my account, so even if Wikipedia let me edit this list (which I don't believe it would), I don't have confidence in my ability to pull off this kind of change.

The answer to your question is that this list is correct and the in-line list at the article you mentioned is out of date.

Another change that should be made is to the column header for the 2012 population estimate rankings. It looks like the ranks are accurate to the actual 2013 population, which can be seen when you toggle from top to bottom the 2013 estimate column, but the column title itself needs to be changed to 2013 from 2012. 72.192.126.193 ( talk) 01:19, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
Unless I'm mistaken, the "2010 Census Pop. per House seat" column is inaccurate for all states that gained or lost a seat after the 2010 Census. Indeed, footnote 4 says that the math in that column is done on the basis of the 2003-2013 apportionment rather than the current (2013-2023) apportionment. Not sure how to fix this myself, but since the 2010 Census population and Seats in U.S. House columns are accurate, it seems to be a simple math problem.

Also, adding a 7th population bracket would make the population differences of the larger states more clear, e.g. 0-1,1-3,3-6,6-10,10-15,15-25,25+. California is about 20,000,000 bigger than Florida and New York, which is a very sizable difference. I uploaded an example of the changes in WikiCommons.

There is a map on the United_States_Census_Bureau#Census_regions_and_divisions:
[[
File:Census_Regions_and_Division_of_the_United_States.svg]]
I think this as an inset to the right of the table could be useful visual aid for the regions and divisions in this section, possibly even color-coding to reflect population somehow since this is all white. But simply placing the existing file would help (color coding may confuse the table's color coding for what is a region vs. a division, etc.) Or, at least making the statement in the legend in Orange "Divisions & regions as defined by U.S. Census Bureau" into a link to the United_States_Census_Bureau#Census_regions_and_divisions, that might suffice.

Shouldn't the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base be listed in this article? Under the treaty, it is "leased" from Cuba, for as long as the US wants, in which the US pays a token "rent" of a few thousand dollars a year, which Cuba does not even cash. So in effect, it is a de facto US territory. Wasp14 ( talk)
The population of Guantanamo is almost entirely soldiers, if I recall correctly the Census counts soldiers geographic location in a unique manner that isn't reflective of where they are stationed. Regardless, it is Cuban soil and wouldn't be appropriate to include (and to get reeeeaaalll technical the U.S. citizen population would likely be counted as zero not just because of the soldiers thing but even if a soldier had their family living there then they would be Americans living abroad and, if included at all, would count whatever state is normally 'home' then) Yeah I understand why some people thnk it should be included but from a neutral (as possible) statistical/demographic point of view, it shouldn't be included.

Some entries have the state flag, and some do not. As a featured list I think some consistency is called for here. Beeblebrox ( talk) 22:55, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
FYI, "Georgia (U.S. State)" is not really redundant. There are two states in the world named "Georgia." One is a fully independent state, the Republic of Georgia; the other is one of the 50 unitary states in confederation as the United States - "Georgia (U.S. State)." It's only redundant when taken out of its basic context as the title of an article. 2601:645:C300:16DD:4F5:A5A2:37CF:5149 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 22:23, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
One column gives note [5] for the data source; note [5] in turn gives two different U.S. Census websites. (In one of those sites, you have to click Table 1.) For some reason that I can't figure out, these two sites give slightly different figures from each other, for every state. The data in this article's table are at least in part from Table 1 of one of the sites. This discrepancy explains the above discussion of Delaware's numbers, and it explains my back-and-forth edits on Vermont's numbers. But why do the two census sites disagree with each other?

http://2010.census.gov/2010census/data/apportionment-data.phpThe apportionment population consists of the resident population of the 50 states, plus the overseas military and federal civilian employees and their dependents living with them who could be allocated to a state. The populations of the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico are excluded from the apportionment population because they do not have voting seats in the U.S. House of Representatives.
I looked over Census 2010 populations and set them to the value of "Total Population" (P1) as found here [1]. I did not check Guam, US Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, or American Samoa. WormNut ( talk) 15:00, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
Utah will soon have four members in the United State's House. Go to http://www.redistrictutah.com/ for more info. This needs to be fixied in the Article(UTC) [1]
