Teams of &#8220;census takers&#8221; go door to door all across the United States and ask people a series that give us information on number of people, where they&#8217;re from, what languages they speak, how old each person is, how much money they earn, and many other questions.<\/p><div class=\"de610b7b9de3e27210f105e73d9817c3\" data-index=\"1\" style=\"float: none; margin:0px 0 0px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<br>\r\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- m4k blog body -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0373877822875511\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7178745461\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"589\" height=\"389\" src=\"https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/US_POP_Time.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-303\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/US_POP_Time.png 589w, https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/US_POP_Time-300x198.png 300w, https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/US_POP_Time-370x244.png 370w, https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/US_POP_Time-270x178.png 270w, https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/US_POP_Time-570x376.png 570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 589px) 100vw, 589px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Being able to look at the data over time allows us to see patterns and\/or changes. Because of this, and from our knowledge of history we can understand the data. We can see how wars have affected the growth of population at specific time in the history of the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Important information we learn from the census includes some great facts like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>21% of people in the United States have a mother tongue other than English <\/li><li>24% of the population is under 18 years of age<\/li><li>13% of the population are over 65 years of age<\/li><li>50.8% of the population is female while 49.2% is male<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>US Population Pyramid by Age &amp; Gender<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"568\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/us_pop_pyramid.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/us_pop_pyramid.png 568w, https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/us_pop_pyramid-300x190.png 300w, https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/us_pop_pyramid-370x235.png 370w, https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/us_pop_pyramid-270x171.png 270w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 568px) 100vw, 568px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trends by State <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The census data also allows us to study the population at different levels. Data is available by state, country, city and even down to the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Census_tract\">census tract<\/a> level. I have gathered the population data by state and built some fun and interactive visualization of that data. For most of my visualization work, I use <a href=\"https:\/\/public.tableau.com\/en-us\/s\/\">Tableau Public<\/a>, a free tool that everyone can download and use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the time of the first U.S, Census in 1790, there were only 18 states. Below is a map of those states and their percentage of the overall population of the United States. Virginia was the most populous state and had over 17% of the total population ! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>% of Total Population by State in 1790<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"369\" height=\"387\" src=\"https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/us_pop_18_1790.png\" alt=\"% of Total Population by State\" class=\"wp-image-314\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/us_pop_18_1790.png 369w, https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/us_pop_18_1790-286x300.png 286w, https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/us_pop_18_1790-270x283.png 270w, https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/us_pop_18_1790-285x300.png 285w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 369px) 100vw, 369px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The center of population at that time was 23 miles east of Baltimore, Maryland.

Since around 1940, there has been a significant movement of the U.S. population to the South and West. States like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maps4kids.com\/states.php?qryState=fl\">Florida<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maps4kids.com\/states.php?qryState=tx\">Texas<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maps4kids.com\/states.php?qryState=ca\">California<\/a> have seen large increases in their population during that time span.
