Interactive Visualization Of The 2010 Census Results
According to the just released census data, whose collection and subsequent contribution to job numbers resulted in so much consternation over 2010, the US population is 308,745,538 with another 3,725,789 in Puerto Rico. Just as importantly, the data will result in a realignment in Congressional seat representation, with states such as New York losing republican seats, more than offset by pick ups in states such as Texas, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, and others. For all those interested in a detailed break down of the 2010 census result, we present the interactive table below. Additionally, the data can be seen in summary format for population change statistics, population density, and political apportionments.
From the Census Bureau:
A brief overview of the results from Bloomberg:
The population of the U.S. grew 9.7 percent to 308.7 million since 2000, with southern and western states outpacing other regions in population growth, census data released today shows.
The gains in the South and West will come at the expense of the Northeast and Midwest, where states will shed seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. That will take electoral votes away from states Barack Obama carried in 2008, a potential boost for Republicans in the 2012 presidential race.
States will use the population shifts to reallocate many of the 435 U.S. House seats. Republicans will have an edge in directing the redistricting process because they gained ground in last month’s elections.
“It will set off an intense game of musical chairs,” said Andrew Smith, a political science professor at the University of New Hampshire in Durham. “It’s life or death for these guys.”
The growth in the overall U.S. population, driven by an increase in Hispanic residents, was the slowest for any decade since the 1930s as the worst recession since the Great Depression stunted immigration.
Texas was the biggest winner, gaining four seats, while Ohio and New York were the biggest losers, dropping two seats each.
Besides Texas, other winners are Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, South Carolina, Utah and Washington. Other losers are Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.
The state population counts mark the start of a new look at America from the 2010 census. The data will be used by the government to distribute more than $400 billion in annual federal funding, by businesses to identify markets, and by social scientists to examine the changing demographics.
Today’s release included only population counts. More detailed data on race, ethnicity, housing and other variables will gradually be provided, beginning in February, for all levels of geography, from neighborhoods to states.
Still, it’s the overall population shifts that will have the most immediate political impact.
Congressional seats are reapportioned every decade after completion of the census, with each district to have roughly the same number of people. After the 2000 Census, each lawmaker was supposed to represent about 647,000 people. That number will now grow to 710,767, the census bureau said.
The reapportionment alters electoral vote calculations because a state’s Electoral College vote is the sum of its House seats, plus its two Senate seats.
Robert Gibbs, the White House press secretary, downplayed the importance of the shift, telling reporters yesterday that the movements wouldn’t represent a dramatic change in presidential politics.
“I don’t think shifting some seats from one area of the country to another necessarily marks a concern that you can’t make a politically potent argument in those new places,” he said.
Much of the population gain for states like Texas, the second-most-populous state, is the result of Hispanic growth. Hispanics account for about 36 percent of the state’s population, the latest census estimates show.

But Pelosi said there would be 500M Americans losing their jobs, and that would put the population at over 1T.

Here's to betting by 2110 America has split into 4 or 5 seperate countries.
Good luck preventing that through gerrymandering, Dems and Republicans! Both sides serve the same master (large corporations/the Oligarchy), and its time for the system to be reset.

Definitely. We need our own Republic, free of the Multi-Kult contaminations like the Census that result in total waste of money, time, and effort.
Right, because knowing the population of your own country isn't handy for politics, planning or marketing.
Or ensuring that representation in the House of Representatives is, uh, representative...
Each state should become self sustaining and refuse the federal handouts, but since most politicians are corrupt this will never happen.
Isn't the cow out of the barn at this point? We should become self sufficient after we have charged an insurmountable amount of debt?
Yes it been slaughtered and I'm eating it. Some states actually aren't that indebted, but you're right most of them are too far gone, but it could still work on a city or community level.
Nope. Those cities who default and implement kickass economies (from a magician's hat) will be saddled with taxes, etc., from the state level (who cannot default). Hence some of the talk regarding the future of our union... part of our durability was prefaced upon our distance from a unified union... as complexity and size of the organization grows, taleb would say, so too does its risk and fragility.
Essentially, the only options are: austerity or secession. Any likely compromise states would come to with the federal government would be similar to IMF compromises in that the creditor usurps the autonomy of the debtor... if that's what you call "compromise" then we can add a third category... If fiscally responsible states want to rinse themselves of their dirty indebted brethren, then they'll need to seceed... otherwise, they need to get paying on our debts and stfu about it.
I don't know of a single state that isn't going to blow-up due to their ponzi pension plans. Then there is the unemployment repayment time-bomb that goes off on Jan. 1st.
As for the cities and counties, they will become the Fed's bitches in the next round of QE. When it's all said and done, the states will find themselves completely out of power, and will be reduced to imposing the DC's will upon the populace. There is not a single political entity in the land that will have the power to stop the destruction of our society, as they have all been hollowed out.
You are right and wrong at the same time. I also believe that the US will break up into 4 to 5 seperate counntries but I don't think it will take 100 years, it will happen within 40 years. You are right that they will be countries by 2110, but true functional countries that have their own armies and allegiances with other nations. Our centralized govt. leaders have done such a bad job in not looking out for the good of ALL in the country that states and people are seeing thats it's better to go it alone. You know California is responsible for 13% of the GDP in the US. In the future other nations kids will learn about the American empire and be given the question what caused the break up of the US. Many will say this or that, but it will be through intolerance and hate and ignorance and even greed, we wasted a treasure that our forefathers rightly or wrongly bequethed to us.
There is a reason why democracies are so few and don't last to long in history. People in the world was waiting for our lead into everything, but we wasted it wasted it all.
You are wrong....I seriously think it can happen by 2015 when the federal govt will run out of money.
The first state will be Hawaii when it used to be an independent soveriegn country until it was annexed by the US at the turn of the century.
hero
Having been to hawaii a few months ago and toured a couple islands... I can definitely say we're the asshole outsiders. Of course, with strategic missile command, etc. being in hawaii, I'm guessing their "independence" is going to come vastly more in form than substance...
Perhaps that's the real reason behind the push for a "natives only" governing structure.
The population of the U.S. grew 9.7 percent to 308.7 million since 2000...
Who wants to hazard a guess as to what proportion of that 9.7% are in the cart and not pulling the cart?
+1 Exactly.
Mercury and the Captain have it 100%.
+ 100!
Rollin', rollin', rollin'...we're all goin' bowlin'...
same here in Europe. Sooner or later there will and must come a reaction.
Pull the cart or no more free groceries for you.
I think that any immigrant should first work at least 10 years before he can profit from the system.
Any immigrant that hasn't got a job after 6 months = OUT.
No family reunions before the first 10 years and they also need to prove themselves.
It might sound hard, but we can't give everybody the free lunch anymore.
Only accept immigrants from same (or similar) genetic and cultural heritage.
Why do people in Europe and N. America accept being replaced (or genocided) by imported third world populations?
Here it's because we killed almost half of them in the colonies and it was a way to buy are way into heaven :)
But now it's like we have colonies night next door!
"we" killed "half of them", a few centuries ago when their numbers were maybe a fifth of what they are now? No one actually knows how many there were, but we do know there are a lot more of all of us now, thanks to our technology created by our civilisation. Our without scare quotes.
"Why do people in Europe and N. America accept being replaced (or genocided) by imported third world populations?"
A good question. The history of immigration in the U.S. has largely been all about bringing in cheaper labor. About 100 years ago, you'd have the Irish come in (say), get jobs, get higher wages, and then the next group from Europe would come in and replace the Irish working at the lower paying jobs. You can see this theme repeated from various books around that time.
It's always been about bringing in cheaper labor. Always. Even today.
And now the cheaper labor is from third world nations. You eliminate that, and you threaten corporate profits. If you don't eliminate it, your middle class destructs. Historically speaking, corporate profits have usually won.
In my part of the country, the immigrants I know (asian & hispanic) are the hardest working people I've ever met, much harder working than many Americans. Do any of you guys actually know any immigrants personally, or just from watching television?
I do. But your statement has nothing to do with the fact that immigration, legal or otherwise, has been about lowering the cost of labor.
And another modern version is the H1-B/L1 visa programs, which are not about immigration whatsoever. Those are guest worker programs, designed specifically, and blatently, to bring in low priced labor.
Since you brought it up, here's another data point. If you shipped back everyone here on an H1/L1 visa, the unemployment rate in the IT field would be drastically reduced, if not eliminated.
The ObamaCare death panels will thin the herds.
Nice that we can look forward to lawmakers doing nothing but haggling about redistricting for the next 6 mos.

Yesterday, we opened our new consumer discretionary stores in the Twin Cities. People were desperate to spend, even on overpriced and useless items. It was incredible. I swear to God, I've never lived something like this before. We made our biggest turnover in a decade. It's funny how much money hides in the purses of people who are supposed to live on welfare (at least, if you believe the pessimistic hype here). I'd say most of our clients were lower-middle class people, and we had some very low-class people also.
The global economy is improving at a very fast pace, and I do think government spending is a good thing. The crisis is definitely over, and no "oh my god the sky is falling" whining will change this fact. People who are in contact with reality, and not with their mother's basement, will know what I mean.
Harry, I want to shit on your face slowly.
You got hammed, sir.
ROTFLMMFAO..... That calls for a shot... Hamy W :)

Huh?

Hows about a Cleveland Steamer?

LOL
Harry - .... . .-- .- -. -.- . .-.
this is the problem. There are still a lot of people out there that don't realise what is happening.
They really need to taste the shit first before they realize it.
Will that take long?
Great post.

Harry:
What business is it you're in? Something retail? Is your customer base normally the low end or do you think it's unusual because you're in Minnesota? What other cities are you in? How many stores? Is the enthusiasm the same everywhere?
I was in a Best But yesterday and amazed at the huge crowd and the urgency they exhibited at grabbing all things electronic.
Its a troll post. Hamy is a knock-off of Harry. The post is fiction and written as if the poster was HarryWanger.
OK.
April fool for Xmas.
lol, that it was.
Home decor. We have 10 stores, and we have recently signed a contract that will make our business international.
Yes, there is a big enthusiasm, but indeed more in Minnesota than in other States (Wisconsin and South Dakota).
I really think the consumer is spending, and in all types of business.
Harry, I am presently looking for a RPK auto sear. Do you all stock those? That is the kind of home decor that I like.
We don't sell weapons or parts of weapons, but I think you'll find something for your interior design.
Very good Harry. There is hope for you yet.
But unfortunately, not for you. You sir, have been hammed...
Might that include umbrellas for Hamster peckers??

Best buy is packed.....and losing extreme market share... Jus shows you how strong the economy is!
Questions: Who in retail...
1. Uses the term "consumer discretionary" to describe their stores.
2. Refer to any of their products as "overpriced" or "useless".
3. Refer to any part of their revenue or supply chain cycle as "turnover".
4. Describe their customers as "clients" and refer to them by traditional socioeconomic class labels.
Answers:
1. Nobody.
2. Nobody.
3. Nobody.
4. Only people who run high-end boutique shops, and nobody.
Extra special fuck you for invoking God in your argument.
Extra special fuck you...
Too damn funny.
Please stick around for at least a week after the crash, so you can collect the well deserved shit from the other 95% of people here.

Hamy, just one question, Twin Cities on what planet? I live in an inner ring suburb in the Twin Cities and I could throw a bowling ball at my local Target and not hit anyone, even on the weekends. I avoid the local mall, if at all possible, but while it is not a ghost town,when I drive past, as I often do, I see plenty of parking. In past years, you could drive around for quite a while before finding a parking space.
HamyWanger lol :/...the real one is gone after several beat down in message board Fight Club by Tyler.
tyler wasted his time on the wangman?
wish I could have seen that...
Hey, wasn't there a guy who used to hang around here by the name of HarryWanger, this guy reminds me a lot of him. Is that you, wangmun?
I really think the retard lives on the junks we give him.
Look at the name carefully. This is not Harry but Hamy.
You've been hammed.
As a Massachusetts resident who acknowledges facts of reality like cause and effect, I wholeheartedly support our congressional delegation losing one hack.
If the one we lose isn't Barney, I'd like to lose another.
"As a Massachusetts resident who acknowledges facts of reality like cause and effect"
Lol, thanks for the clarification. These two characteristics are not always found together. No offence meant, but you know this already.
Poetic justice... or not...
GOP garners more control based on the very people that they're trying to label as "illegals."
Kind of brings back those good old days when the handfuls of whites controlled things, back when those actually doing the work were labeled as being less than human, as parasites- blacks/slaves.
And people are still falling for this shit! (because they're basically racist). Lots of money to be made of this though...
You are either with us or you are with the terrorist.
No, no, no. It's "you are either with us or you are a domestic extremist."
Domestic extremist.....
Has a nice ring to it, doncha think?
It kind of makes me think of a homemaker who is frickin' awesome at knitting and baking and stuff. "Joe Smith is one lucky guy. His wife is a domestic extremist!"
One thing is for certain. All of us old guys know for sure. She is the boss with the sauce.
Is that a Mormon joke?
No. ?
let's see here...like half the black population is in jail, half of those not are on welfare. As you were saying?
you are teh racism!
I'd opine that, over the greater span of US history, the current levels of imprisonment of blacks is actually DOWN, that a far greater precentage of blacks were slaves back When, and we know that slavery is, in essence, imprisonment!
Thanks for playing though!
You know, when I read posts like this I realize how successful the professional, educational left has been at misinforming generations of students. The teaching has no frame of reference, no big picture takeaways...only that America is a horrible place, built by white men ruling over the darkies. As if Europeans that came to this continent never worked. As if black people were the only ones that were ever slaves in the history of the world. As if there were places in Africa and Asia where, by goodness, there was racial equality and women were first class citizens...and gosh darnit, everybody was prosperous and had health care and, damn it, the anglo saxons just ruined everything. Ill have you know that my father, and his brothers and sisters, and their parents picked cotton sun up to sun down, and traveled all over picking fruit, and had nothing ever given to them they didn't work their ass of for. And I don't appreciate one damn minute lame brains like you putting down this country. If it is so bad, get the hell out.
36% of the residents in Texas are Hispanic. Ten years from now it will be 57%. The only way I could survive the rigors of day to day living in Texas would be to marry a smart Hispanic woman. The only problem would be that after I am no longer needed, I would find myself standing along a Texas highway holding a sign that I had no clue what it meant.
Are you Catholic? I am just sayin....
What are you suggesting, he molest their children to remedy the situation?
No , but if he married a nice Mexican girl , I would think she would want him to bow the knee and kiss the ring of the Pope.
I'm pretty sure she would settle with citizenship and a meal ticket... but what do I know.
I absolutey hated it when MachoMan went NWO.
MachoMan, I never got a chance to thank you for turning me atheist. We had a conversation some time back and you sort of handed me my ass which led me to do some inward examination and I realized I am very good at double-think and very poor at critical-think(ing). I've been adjusting presuppositions since then, and I can see a bit clearer these days. I can see the light, and it ain't some robed zeus-man in the sky.
So, I thank you, FWIW.
1 down, 6 billion to go. Religious thinking is a laughable system of slavery and servitude (people actually LIKE this, which is why it perpetuates... which is really strange). Ultimately, the gods of every religion can be reduced to beings not worthy of any worship. As bad as humans may be, we are patently more virtuous. You'll feel naked for a while being an atheist... eventually you'll get used to the cold. The trick is to not allow tyler into your life and strive to achieve the balance rendered from tyler and cornelius' marriage. Once you are free to destroy your concept of god, you're free to destroy all your thoughts. I urge you caution in this regard.
PS, for some more entertainment/ass handing, please see this thread of an ongoing discussion with waterwings. http://www.zerohedge.com/article/245-trillion-us-national-debt-144-trill...
But I wonder how many White Texans refuse to submit to the census? I'm guessing a disproportionate amount, compared to handout Hispanics.
I tried. But the census lady just stood out there arguing and she even agreed with my arguments about it, but refused to leave. So I gave her what she wanted. I means after all , she is just some temporary help type person. She was real nice about it and heck getting mad at her and making a big fuss with her about technical issues of the census , at the time, really didn't mean much, besides the Dallas Cowboys were on and I was missing the game.
census lady playbook #1: "agree with complaints and be nice, victims will capitulate because of the NFL or american idol"
It didn't work at my house.
I refused and told her why and asked her if I was required by law to which she replied that I was only required to give my name, gender, and address.
They came by twice when I was there, but I didn't answer the door. I figure it takes time and energy to get off my ass and play 20 questions. I doubt they would have compensated me, especially at the rate I charge.
You're right, you're fucking guessing...
I've got some good Southern Baptist friends ("obviously" white), and they were in no way going to submit to the census: whether they did or didn't I don't know. Seems that I saw TONS of right-wing produced e-mail flying around to NOT fill out the census.
But... just a guess... (one without any overt racist labeling)

What a country! And what an economy! We need some new blood in the immigrant mix, that's what usually happens. Maybe Iranians, West Africans and Micronesians. Don't forget, you need them to clean up and do grunt work if you want to live an aspirational yuppie life. It's been America's time-tested success formula for generations.
It's the 'Trickle Me!' Economy !!! We're spending not using credit and expecting a boom to pay for the debt this time, but because we're anticipating to get showered and sprinkled with beautiful free liquidity from the Fed via the rich who get the money first and let it trickle down.
Trickle Me!
++
I'm feeling tricklish
there were only 2 census questions on my census form.
1.Do you own your home, have a mortgage or rent.
2.What is your race/ethnicity and how many of your particular genetic make up reside in your domicile.
I can understand counting heads and of course racial politics and the endless us vs them tactics of the oligarchy cannot be executed without such data, but why the fuck do they need to know if I own my home or rent it from the bank?
This country grows more wobbly by the day, if we remain a union by the end of the next decade I will be quite surprised. I am planning on a future of diminshed resources and constant surveillance, sort of like the USSR but with entertainment programming along the lines of "the Running Man" - who loves you and who do you love? Big Brother and his rectal taser probe.
These days are ours to prepare for that which is coming, don't squander them, daylight is burning.
It's never those latina weather girls that cross the border : (
Ahh....filing the country full of a people that after about 10~15,000 years of development still couldn't make it out of the stone age. This should work out well in the long run.
But we'll get our 2~3% GDP growth rate driven by population inflation in the short term and that is all that matters, right? Please try not to notice the stench of societal decay and destruction as it happens.
Anyone have ideas on a nice country to take my kids to that is not planning on commiting cultural suicide by importing the 3rd world hordes?
And what exactly is your measure of "development?" The ability to exploit others into not being self-sufficient? Bombing them? The iPod? The oil-guzzling SUV? NetFlix? Bio-fuels? Well... this site doesn't have enough disk space to list it all, but I think that this should be a sufficient list for your superior self to chew on in order to prepare for your superior retort.
You're going to be one miserable son-of-a-bitch when your reality comes crashing down, even more so than you appear to be now.
Please feel free to list the postive technological, cultural, political, organizational, or societal advancements that these groups bring and I will be happy to educate/enlighten myself.
(Not getting my hopes up for a long list.)

Now, I am not saying that ancient societies in these regions lacked the social hierarchies that come about as a result of the desire to not labour for one's own food, but it is foolish to believe that just because you live a certain way now, you would not have lived happily in a different time and by different means.
And to think that the exploitation and trivialization of human life occurs in order to achieve what you view as a higher goal is laughable, for what is more meaningful to humans than humans?
It is natural, once invested in a system, to trick oneself into believing that it was all worth it.
Once you realize this, you can move towards becoming an intellectual superhuman.
I do recognize and agree that all of these are horrific, myopic outcomes of the agressive drive to succeed. And as in any system, there needs to be checks and balances to ensure that these outcomes and abuses do not happen.
What I reject is the standard pseudo-intellectual masturbation that has become common sport, to neglect the positive nature and contibutions that this country (US) has brought about by its great people. Now, we have to denegrate the contributions, the system, and ultimately the generations of people that made it happen. In order to do that, we try to convince them the system was ultimately corrupt in the past and the only way to right the wrongs is to canibalize the whole system and risk destroying what was once the provider to the world.
In short, Fuck the US, Fuck the selfish, overindulgent, pampered Americans for wanting a peaceful and advanced society that did not look like the rest of the 3rd world. Fuck the generations of Americans before them that worked toward this goal for their decendents.
In order for this great country to be controled by TPTB, they want to tear it down before it can threaten their grip on power. And what better way then taking advantage of their good nature, brainwash them with gibberish like 'MultiCulturalism', destroy the pillars of the culture (Religion, Family, Tradition), flood the country with people with different value systems, and then watch it eventually implode.
Maybe Africa won't have any left if we cut off food aid but let them emigrate here and europe.
Its like something out of a bugs bunny cartoon "Come to america, leave africa behind! Streets of gold and shit!"
They get in and find the resources mined and soil depleted... and all the whiteys living it up in africa with bumper crops and all the gold and uranium we would ever need.
