315,594,607

My guesses:

California: 38.3 million
Texas: 26.4 million
New York: 19.55 million
Florida: 19.5
Illinois: 12.9 million
Pennsylvania: 12.85 million
Ohio: 11.575 million
Georgia: 10.05 million
Michigan: 9.9 million
North Carolina: 9.875 million
New Jersey: 8.9 million
Virginia: 8.25 million
Washington: 6.95 million

Also, for racial demographics, in New Mexico, Latinos will become a majority of the state (currently 47%), and a plurality in California (currently at 38%, and whites are at 39%). They will probably become a plurality in Texas in a few years as well. And lastly, Nevada will become majority non-white in a few years.

Ouch on West Virginia, looking more and more to be 4 electoral votes. Anyways, some facts.

Florida is still behind New York, with its 19.55 million compared to NY's 19.65 million.

Georgia almost at 10 million, sad it didn't get past the milestone.

Looks like the trend we've been seeing all along, with the South and West growing fast and the Midwest and Northeast growing slow.

2012 to 2013 growth population:

MA really sticks out.  Also MN and NM.  Why would NM be lagging?

Over average growth: 279
Under average growth: 248
On par growth: 11

Unfortunately you can't see how much specifically they grew because I was didn't feel like doing shades, but Minnesota only grew slightly larger than the national average, and overall the Twin Cities are doing good and is growing much faster in comparison to Wisconsin or Iowa. Massachusetts seems to be the one area in New England that is actually growing, its a hot spot for liberals and Boston seems to be keeping people's interest. New Mexico actually had very little growth (the fourth lowest in the nation!). I'm guessing Latinos are still building up, but people are moving out of the state. But I have no idea on that one.

Does anyone know if any states switched spots in population rankings?

UT passed KS over the last year and NE passed WV.

That's all.

Beat me to it.

A sad fact might be that Los Angeles County, California might hit 10 million in population before Georgia. As of now (2012 estimate) its at 9.96 million.
