An interactive table and charts of populations in the states and regions, starting in 1929.
How have the states grown in population since 1929? Growth varies greatly.
In the accompanying visualization, one chart of the growth of population uses a logarithmic scale. This better shows a wide range of values. On this scale, negative values can’t be shown. The example below highlights Kansas against the other states.
Another tab in this visualization displays a map of the states along with a slider to select a range of years. For each state, you can see the change in population over this range of time.
