Here are the 50 states in descending order of total population.
The U.S. States are all quite different from each other. So, it should be no surprise that they have very different population estimates. And, as the resident population of the United States has continued to grow, the state populations are changing all the time. For citizens of the different states this is important, as population determines how much representation a state gets in the federal government (and by extension it affects funding for programs and initiatives). To see how your state stacks up, we've made a table of the fifty states in order of their most recent population estimates.
And tt's not a state, but we've included the District of Columbia in the rankings. Were D.C. to become a state, it would rank just above Vermont and Wyoming in terms of population. We haven't included the territories, but Puerto Rico would rank just ahead of Iowa.
