isqarxis Posted March 20, 2011 Every 10 years the United States government counts the national population and asks people questions about how they live. Results from the 2010 census are still being organized and studied. The population grew by 27 million people over the past ten years. That was an increase of more than9 % since the last census in two thousand. Growth in the United States population slowed compared to the last census. Between 1990 and 2000, the nation’s population grew by about 13 %. In fact, the only decade with slower growth was between 1930 and1940 . The country grew by a little more than seven percent at that time, which was during the Great Depression. Nevada had the largest population growth in percentage terms during the last ten years. Nevada’s population grew by about35 % . The state with the largest population is California. More than 37 million people live there. Wyoming has the smallest population of all the fifty states, at about half a million people. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
