They may still be parsing the data for State/county level census tracts, but it will be interesting to see where that growth may have been concentrated and which counties are losing residents.
ed. nevermind, the NY Times already did it for me :P However, their baseline for % change is from 2000 to 2010 (+6.7%)

Population important for a variety of reasons, including representation in the U.S.House of Representatives. As it stands now, Kansas, ranked 33rd. in the most recent census count has the lowest population for states with 4 members. The States of Utah and Nevada, ranked 34th and 35th in population have only 3 representatives. As Kansas is growing at a much slower than these two states it is not inconceivable that by the 2020 census, Kansas will loose another representative. Interesting since Kansas membership has declined from 8, to 7, to 6, to 5, to 4 during the past 100 years or so, and most recently with thw 2010 census.

Considering who we send to congress, that may not be a bad thing.

Now that's funny.

Boy, I agree with that! Kansas already suffers enough because of issues beyond our control, but the 2 Senators and 4 dilbert House members add to the ridicule.

Did you really just say "boring" to data like a teenager in high school? Fair enough, I guess.

disappointed: Doubt your California numbers! State had 33+ million in 2000 census and 37+ million in 2010, and the increase from 1990 to 2000 was just as significant. Maybe you read the most recent census data columns incorrectly! Native Son of the Golden West here.

Pavlov's dog awakens...
SR writes a brief article about population growth in Kansas and the 4 adjacent states and good ole RC77 goes off about Kansas bashing and liberals. Damned main stream media and their factually laden biases made him do it.
