Hi everyone ! Smiley

Since this sub-board has become a full forum board, we are experiencing a formidable bounce of activity there. Of course, most of it is due to redistricting, but it's nonetheless a good occasion to try developping new activities. This is a try to achieve this goal.

The reason is simple : we don't have a thread there where users can post maps related to every topic covered by the board. This needs to change : the what-if board has its "random maps thread", it's time to have a "demographic maps thread".

Recently, I have collected a considerable amount of data related to past censuses, apportionments and all that. And all this data allows me to make a lot of maps. So I'll try to regularly post here. They can be related to pop growth, to the reapportionment, to population density, etc... So, I hope you will enjoy them. First maps to come tomorrow. Smiley

If you have some maps, please post them too !

Let's begin ! Smiley


Part 1 : Population growth

The principe of those maps is simple : the evolution of the population from a census year to another. Red means that the population increased over the national average, blue means below the national average. The shade is proportional to the level of the increase compared to the national average.

1900-1910



1910-1920



1920-1930



1930-1940



1940-1950



1950-1960



1960-1970



1970-1980



1980-1990



1990-2000



2000-2010

Good work. So far, the states that have gained (compared to the national average) every decade are: Calif., Ariz., Hawaii, Texas, and Fla. The states that have been behind each time are: Neb., Kan., Iowa, Wisc., Mo., Ark., Ala., Mass., and Maine.

WV stuck out at me for changing from a relative high to a relative very low, while MD went in the opposite direction.  did any state have an actual decline in population over these decades?

ND did from 1920 to 2000.  SD from 1930 to 1980, and a very small gain from 1930 to 1990.

OK lost from 1930 to 1960, and NE barely surpassed its 1930 population in 1960.
