Talk:List of U.S. states and territories by population

message: What happened? The most recent Census should definitely be what anything is measured against; that's a non-negotiable. The negotiation was over whether the 2010 Census should have be included in addition to the other data. Fix this. --Criticalthinker (talk) 09:15, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Anyone? Who made the change to show population from the 2010 Census and then the 2021 estimate? That makes absolutely no sense. --Criticalthinker (talk) 11:34, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Huh? 

message: The US Census typically does not cover UM (the minor outlying islands) due to no indigenous population; however, according to sources cited by Territories of the United States they have a total population of between 144 and 160, made up of researchers, military, etc. Any thoughts on whether this should be included?

replies: text: I've looked for this, but haven't found anything that feels reliable enough (or comparable to the Census data) to add. Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 12:45, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: That's fair - I hadn't actually looked at the cited sources yet. Jtrevor99 (talk) 21:59, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Just realized that since there is a column for 2000, that year's enumeration of the U.S. Minor Outlying Islands could be included. —Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 20:02, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for adding! (I wondered what one might use for the flag.) My only suggestion would be a note on the post-2000 columns to the effect that census was not taken, rather than a dash which may incorrectly be interpreted as a population of zero. Thanks for your work on this. Jtrevor99 (talk) 22:06, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Minor Outlying Islands population 

message: In the "State and territory rankings" table, New Hampshire's value for "Change,2010–2020" is 61,378, however the value of its 2020 population (1,377,529) minus its 2010 population (1,316,470) is reported as (61,378) 
which is not what it should be (61,059) based on the population numbers in the table. This may explain why the total of the "House Reps.2022 %" column is 100.04% instead of 100%!
I would have fixed it, but I could not confirm the population numbers. JerryDNYC (talk) 13:23, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The 2020 and 2010 pops check out, so the difference was incorrect. Thanks for finding that! --Ken Gallager (talk) 14:41, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

message: There are only 50 states. Serialing is wrong. it starts from 2 i.e. California. But California should be 1. Anishssgj (talk) 05:39, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
