2020 Center of Population Every 10 years, the Census Bureau has calculated the “center of population,” which is a point at where an imaginary, flat, weightless and rigid map of the United States would balance perfectly if everyone were of identical weight. This point represents the average location of where people in the United States live. Based on 2020 Census redistricting data, the center of population is located in Hartville, a tiny town in central southern Missouri. The Census Bureau also calculates centers of population for each state, county, census tract and census block group. Help us spread the word! Facebook / Twitter / LinkedIn  PREVIEW |
