United States Population Growth by State (1790-2040) 

The introduction of air conditioning mid last century changed everything. AC made the sun belt desirable.

Caseoh makes up more than half of the population in Arkansas

I didn't know Texas and Florida have more people than New York.

People before the 50s: Florida ? Irrelevant. People in the 60s: Florida is so cool let's goooo

NC and GA neck and neck lmao

Your counting West Virginia on this list when WV didn’t even exist until the middle of the civil war in 1863.

Texas is expected to become the most populous state in the United States after 2050.

200k!!! Congrats!

200k, Congrats!!!!

I love your videos❤❤

California & Texas

One thing misleading in the beginning is WV being shown separate from VA before 1863

Long live the U.S.A. 🇺🇸❤🇺🇸

how did you add the map ?

Bro Georgia and that clutch at the end

Why only 2040? could you do another video projecting into the future

I could see NC surpassing PA. Difficult to say what there future holds for IL & OH because both those states already have the infrastructure in place to support far more people.

Ohio appeared at the bottom in 1803. By 1822 it was in 4th place.

Massachusetts representing Nee England pretty well!

It is necessary to revise the projection, the US population in 2024 is 336 million, but here it is 342 million.

So from now until 2040 we are going to add 40 million, but out of those 40 million 35 million divide between California, Florida and Texas?

Idaho(my home) only has 1.9 million right now. As many as Tennessee had in 1897.

Crazy how MA has so much population for being a quite small state

Do tube most densely populated states

New Mexico has 2.1 million people total. Thats amazing (amd good). What a beautiful landscape

New Jersey is keeping up

Wow, born in Kentucky and crazy to see it was one of the fastest growing states in the early years.

Looks like more Illinois and Pennsylvania people rather go to Burlington Vermont as an option

Wow time files we are already in 2040!

Everyone talks about how Illinois keeps losing population but the future shows it more or less staying steady.

Biggest surprises for me: - Virginia falling out of the top states for 100 years? Behind Iowa, Wisconsin… I assumed Virginia was never not a top 15 most populated state. - how long small states in the northeast remained among the most populated - how late Florida entered the picture

Very nice music!

It seems like everyone is moving to Arizona

West Virginia didn’t become a state until 1863

AC really made states like NV and FL tolerable 😀

What is that app called?

Sad what has happened to Illinois taxes pushing people out moving myself in 24

Not to be bias or anything, but Kansas is where the best human beings come from and you can’t change my mind. Kansans are the most humble and kind hearted people

So you must be supernatural to be able to detect the supernatural huh, Luke?

Greetings to all states of America

why is the video length 9:11

When im a adult I'll gladly leave Illinois

I was sad to see Virginia go from top to bottom But then they made a comeback

Ohio is underrated

How are California, New York, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts gonna be on population declines and then poof they start growing again right as we hit the future?

Just remember folks,Native Americans were living in all states during this time too. Don't forget that.

Good roots of stateman❤

The rise of the Sun Belt (Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Georgia, and Arizona).

I’m from California, I love my state, I don’t think I’d ever move out of the state And I don’t think Texas would be the most populated state since it’s way too hot there

Wow, Pennsylvania was 2nd in population from 1790 til 1949 basically? Wow. Growing up Pennsylvania was always ranked around 25th in just about everything or average or bottom half or bottom third, and I was taught it was a big state but passed up by several or many others. Also strange how it had nearly 11 million in 1954 but only 12.5 million when I was in high school between 1998 and 2002 according to our text books. Also weird it has so many people in the state but my home town has only been around 6,000 people for decades back to before I was born in 1984.

Ooooh the 90s😏

Wow Pennsylvania was in a decline after 2020 😢😢😢

as an Illinoisan, I can confirm, 95% of that 12.4M, is Chicago.

doesnt minnasota have about six million

I feel like most of illinois is just chicago

In the beginning, people preferred to live in the north, but by the 1960s/1970s, we see a clear shift in states like Ohio, Illinois, and Michigan, where their populations begin to stagnate and decline, as opposed to states like Texas and Florida, whose populations grow exponentially.

I'll stay in one of the less populated states.

I wonder how California’s population will look like many years from now

Why is this comment section so dumb, this data is perfectly acurate

i can't believe that New Mexico failed it's population growth, i'm so sad

Interesting till the projection, then it was just comical. None of those top states will grow at the rates in the projections, New York for sure will keep shrinking.

1930 is when the USA peaked ❤️❤️ Goated Top 4!!: 1. New York (12.59m) 2. Pennsylvania (9.63m) 3. Illinois (7.63m) 4. Ohio (6.65m) Largest cities: 1. New York City, New York (6.93m) 2. Chicago, Illinois (3.38m) 3. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (1.95m) 4. Detroit, Michigan (1.57m) 5. Cleveland, Ohio (900k) 6. St. Louis, Missouri (822k) 7. Baltimore, Maryland (805k) 8. Boston, Massachusetts (781k) 9. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (670k) 10. Buffalo, New York (573k)

Luke must have ink written on his heart muscle. I think it says stupid.

I doubt that California will catch up to their previous growth again. I think it will more or less continue to decline or stagnate.

Bro NE was not in 1858 it made in march,1,1867 I know because I live there

Why is nobody talking about the time of the video💀💀💀

What about the existing indigenous populations ??

Lol its funny Cali is going down that last decade in real years but suddenly starts going up in the projected future.😂😂😂 😇🙄😵‍💫🤦‍♂️🤫

LOL@ california's population prediction to increase again from the covid downturn.

New York lasted almost 200 years at no 1 place

I held out forever.....then they came to Michigan.

People who were finding California at the start of the video ⬇️

I find it funny that you didn't correct the census undercounts while also including them in previous census data proven wrong. Florida undercounted nearly 800,0000 in the last census and Texas was also undercounted by 500,000. Illinois constantly gets a bad rap because of Trump's hate for Obama and his constant fighting with the city. Illinois in 2020 was actually 13.1million as it was undercounted. For the state to report a loss when the city of Chicago and cook county both gained in population despite data projecting losses there prior to the census. Then to see suburban Aurora who grew twice it's size from 1990 to 2010 surpassing 200k all the sudden lost 18,000 people. Despite school enrollment, energy usage, and the area is a hot spot of continued growth. The population clearly made no sense. Illinois naturally grows because it's a state that has more births than deaths, The black population has stalled with mild declines within the state, but thanks to Hispanic growth, Asian growth, and rapid white growth into downtown Chicago (Fastest growing downtown population for 30 years) even grew another 10% during the pandemic. With Illinois becoming the 8th cheapest state (even with its taxes), plus the fact Chicago for 11 years brought the most new job relocations and new HQ location openings for 11 years straight, Their position as the 10th most important global city, the largest investment projects in the nation currently taking place, and Illinois becoming more equitable for minorities while the southern migration has caused blacks to slow their exodus, Hispanics will continue to bring in population, and white boomers represent a small number of state population so any exodus is fake news. You have places like Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania maintaining their population when they have fewer woman in child bearing years, Detroit is another st Louis, Ohio continues to see it's cities dwindling except Columbus but that has begun to stall. Philadelphia is once again loosing and it's overwhelming low birthrate, high cost cities of Pittsburgh and Philadelphia will continue to lose (as Phoenix and soon Dallas will surpass the city). Houston is riddled in crime and the city has stalled. Austin, once the fastest growing city is now one of the most expensive cities and Texas is no longer attractive for retirees or business men as the state is declining in white population, blacks have begun leaving recently, and Hispanics have now taken top spot in population, yet this under privileged group economically are marginalized and will not be able to afford Texas in the future. Texas now costs 12% more than Illinois while Florida is nearing 45%. The Midwest states west of Ohio will be states that will see change for good and the south will have nother migration out as Republicans in the south have destroyed their economies

Hmmh, had been there no natives or are they included?

So Virginia was number one until 1807 and that was New York New York reins supreme until the 1960s when California took over And the 1920s California was in the top 10 in the 1930s. California was in the top five and the 1950s California was in second place by 1964. California was number one. Do you think Texas or Florida will surpass California as the most populous state by 2040 *or beyond Comment if you please

200k❤😊

VA❤️❤️❤️❤️

Congratulations on 200K!

Rip Michigan

Fun Fact : California has a higher population than Canada.

This is actually not true. New York is the 27th most popular state. Now

move out of florida. way to many people here

Texas , the lost brother of Chile 🇨🇱

Texas could pass California in 2024-2025 due to its rapid growth and in early 2024 it will grow insanely because of the eclipse in Texas

Bien pero no sale ¡ALASKA! NO SALE EN LA TABLA DE TODOS

Luke said that people can be morally objective without thinking about it. That's a lie. He believes morality is written on his heart pump by a god, which is subjective. He keeps burying himself in contradictions.

Look at the way India is now and think, that the US in fifty years. Look out, it's coming fast.

Wrong data, california is decreasing population

Epic edit! 🎬

Ohio in the building

GEORGIA RAHHHHHHH AMERICA

2024: United States of America 2040: Estados Unidos de America

What happened in New York in the 1970's?

Texas!

Not a lot of virgins in Virginia huh?

Mexicans

Wishful thinking about California....

Ohio

Exactly zero people could say that they knew that PA has the 5th most populous state after CA/TX/FL/NY

La república de texas se iniciara en 2048
