Texas gains the most in population; Rhode Island loses most

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the state of Texas had the most population growth, while the national growth slowed the most since the 1940s.

"The nation’s overall growth rate is now at its lowest point since before the baby boom,” said Census Bureau Director Robert Groves. “Our nation is constantly changing and these estimates provide us with our first measure of how much each state has grown or declined in total population since Census Day 2010.”

States with the most population gains include Texas (529,000), followed by California (438,000), Florida (256,000), Georgia (128,000) and North Carolina (121,000). Combined, these five states accounted for slightly more than half the nation’s total population growth.

California remained the most populous state, with a July 1, 2011, population of 37.7 million. Rounding out the top five states were Texas (25.7 million), New York (19.5 million), Florida (19.1 million) and Illinois (12.9 million).

Among states and equivalents, the District of Columbia experienced the fastest growth between April 1, 2010, and July 1, 2011, as its population climbed 2.7 percent.

The only three states to lose population between April 1, 2010, and July 1, 2011, were Rhode Island (1,300 or -0.12 percent), Michigan (7,400 or -0.08 percent) and Maine (200 or -0.01 percent).

  1. Whilst good nutrition is one of the most significant facets of a
    child's health, that which you give our kids to drink is just as
    significant as the quality of food we allow them to have to eat.
    From the simple plastic or wooden constructions that small children can ride on, to get or push
    toys that toddlers would enjoy to ride on, to motor-driven riders
    and miniaturized versions of popular car brands and makes which are favored by young boys,
    ride-on toys would always be a a part of any child's playtime menagerie.
