Census Data

Census Data

1. The 2010 Census reported 308.7 million people in the United States, a 9.7 percent increase from the Census 2000 population of 281.4 million.

2. About 16-17%

3. 42,148

4. 15.9 %

The one thing I find interesting is that the poverty level has risen in percentage. We should help each other out more.
