- United States population growth from 1790 to 2020 visualized with 3200 wooden blocks. Using census data, we can in this visualization see the population growth and geographical shift to the west as the vast nation grow. Every block represents 100 000 inhabitants.
Today, California, Texas, Florida and New York are the most populous states, but that has not always been the case. Through urbanization and suburbanization the demographical as well as political landscape of the United States changed.

I applaud the sheer amount of time and effort, along with research it took to produce this. New subscriber!
Yes I subscribed too :)
THIS CHANNEL DESERVES MORE!!!
AGREED!!!!!!
He put so much work into this, not only into the research he did but also just placing all those counters
THAT WAS WHAT I THOUGHT WHEN I SUBSCRIBED!
More what? Viewers? Money? Commercials? Minorities??? I need to know this maaaan!
Man, this channel is a perfect example of a hidden gem. I bet that after at least a few videos blow up, then your channel will experience rapid growth
Agree
its 2023 and hes still not blown up 😭
@@ashwinv3951 Well goddamn
Year later now and he is at 26k@@ashwinv3951
(The air conditioner is invented)
Texas: allow me to introduce myself.
And Arizona
Yeah there’s basically a ..holy shit I need ac...line in this country
@TheDarawinst who asked
@@farmervillager8651 ikr
And Arizona, and Florida, and just about every other Sun Belt state. (Except that was when air conditions became widely available, not when it was invented.)
Oh wow,when youtube recommend this channel out of the blue, i thought it would be good,but with thousands of people already aware,even if only recently,but damn,this gem is still hidden! Lots of luck going forward dude,you have so much potential
Ironically, the birth control pill was invented in 1950 which is when the population started to multiply exponentially. LOL
@@averychilco together with a large portion of other healthcare items that dropped the mortality significantly, which is why the population skyrocketed
@@dominiklehn2866 Just imagine after millions of years of evolution people knew when and when not to have sex; and all in one day they threw common sense out the window for a pill. LOL
The same thing happened with the condoms in the late 1800's but the jury's still out with Viagra. LOL
@@averychilco that may be a small factor but the big reason is still the significant reduction in child mortality
I love how Florida just grows unreasonably quickly after 1950 as AC became widely available lmao
So I guess this gives the USA powerbloc a very unique advantage as all modern day powerblocs are losing population that being the EU, Russia and China
not only that, the us will retain a younger population than those other mentioned countries. These two in tandem give the US a big advantage in the times to come vis a vis its competitors
@@free_boiling4502 hopefully water shortages won’t bite back too hard
Russia isnt losing population lol they recovered and gain 1.2% more every year
@@donteatmycheeze4901 no they are losing.
Immigrants are increasing the population of the USA. I hope white Americans realize this and I hope the white population in America will increase as well. I'm not racist, I respect all people, but I like white Americans and Europeans more.
Seems to be a thing in most (industrialized) countries nowadays, that the population is concentrated to some areas with some very scarcely populated regions.
and in very populated countries like india and china too, not as much in india, but in india theres much less population in southern states and the northeastern states than the northern states, but still huge population, and in china basically no one lives in tibet or the surrounding region near it
@@idkwhattoputhere5503 also Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Quinghai are very sparsely populated.
It’s because of agriculture
That timelapse was so appealing.
@TheDarawinst any evidence?
@TheDarawinst sheep are cooler than magatards tho, at least they're good for wool or whatever
West Virginia stays so empty for so long lol
Interesting how this was uploaded a year ago, yet all its comments are relatively new. . .
Very interesting video, but I thing it's missing a very important trend: The USA has for the last five years experienced a fertility rate catching down with European rates: Last estimate (2019) is just 1,71 child per woman.
@TheDarawinst liar, learn real information, covid is real
Yeah but immigration helps us grow
@@BillyLikesToasters with modern day inflation, and roughly 50 million people homeless, while on the Brink of getting involved in a 3rd world war.... along with p*ssing a lot of other countries off with our military. I think immigration is the last thing we need right now.
Maybe when things get straightened out here, and when we aren't controlled by greedy capitalists. THEN more Immigration will be a good thing for the nation's growth, especially in the mid west, where there is plenty of space. But adding more people at the moment would only make things worse.
As long as we are playing the Right Vs. Left game... and staying divided, while voting for Narcissistic sociopaths on both sides... There will never be true change for the better. Both main political parties are filled with corruption. and no matter what "good" either side does for some people, it will cause strife to other people. Unity is the only answer for change. And even then, it would be a hard thing to truly accomplish.
Really nice man, I love how much time you took on this and showed us. One problem with it though.
Why does Wyoming have anything.
My question as I watched, why does it not have more? Spectacularly beautiful state.
Well it does, more cows that people.
haha poor Nevada was lonely till 1930s
Yes, until the gangsters moved in. I first visited Las Vegas in 1960 as a kid with my parents. It was a sleepy outpost dotted with small casino/hotels/pools, even then.
Wish good luck for this underrated and underrecommended channel!
Gold: *exist*
California: Hey about that
Native Americans from 100% to less than 1%. That’s incredible brutal and sad.
“This land was our land.” “BUT NOW ITS OUR LAND!”
@@nordicnostalgia8106 yessssss 💯
Not really.
It was a combination of guns, germs and steel (read Pulitzer Prize book of same name) that produced genocide. Trail of Tears.....😢
The one thing I'd say is the lack of highlight on the drastic increase of Florida's population in the late 20th century specifically because it rapidly grew from having less people than places like Kansas and Oklahoma to more than states like Virginia and other northern states
More than new york
hay it is becouse of the climit, and no snow to shovel, bugs, alligators, and snakes yes, snow no.
You must be from Florida
@@joelnielsen4836 no I'm actually from New York lol I just find Florida really interesting
My best friend, It's always great. Your video is excellent quality. We liked and enjoyed to the end. Thanks
Bro you are sooooo underrated
Good video, even though I'm a Spanish speaker I really liked the video.

When I saw his sub count I thought I saw 5.13 million subscribers. There is no way he only has 5.13K subs.
fr this is such an underrated channel
Good news his amount of subs has tripled!
23k in 2023, we need to get that 10x at least if not 100 or 1000x
Love USA from Brazil! 🇧🇷♥️🇺🇲
Love you back 💚
Love y’all to y’all got some good women
I hope this channel grow to 100k, because it was good
You deserve more subscribers and likes!
this is going to blow up
well then take cover for gods sake!
@@SmallCirclesForward haha
Amazing effort put into this!! Great video! New sub!
Hey man, love your content down to an absolute T. Love from Rwanda
This video is really good, I’m surprised u don’t have more subs
Nicely done. Thanks.
Awesome video!!!
7:49 Glad to see an Amtrak train.
You mean they usually don't show up?
@@SmallCirclesForward nope
Dude this vid must have taken so long
Very nice video 📹
Nice. and underrated
Woo, Nevada, human free until 1930's
Wow looks like all the New England states are very populated and Vermont and Maine with barely any clay balls are just hiding behind all of Massachusetts, New York’s, Connecticut, New Hampshire’s, pennsylvanias, and New Hampshire’s balls. That’s funny
Wow
American People is great fully, honest and progressive ethnic They’s was so great and They’s was against World’s Evil Ambitions
(Looks at the thumbnail)
The back of my mind: “Es CoVid!!!”
I notice something! The west side of the Mississippi River seems to be the wall between the low population of the west and the highest population of the east
Besides Texas + California
Land in the western us is arid and can’t support as many people
Too much attention gets paid to the mason Dixon north south divide mainly because of the civil war. The real difference is east west at the Mississippi. It's not just population density it's a million things but that's the biggest difference
Good catch. After that, it is a large expanse of plains, and then the Rocky Mountains, both hard regions to make a start in the early days.

Why maine shown as too muck population
I think is higher than 1.4 % native, Mexicans are mainly native so the figure of native is around 20% or more
But the are not native to the United States the are native to Mexico.
1.4 % does not reflect the numerical increase in native Americans just it's ratio to massive increase in immigrants over the history of the US.
thats cool
Really puts into perspective how empty the American West is,

One small quibble - crime didn’t decrease due to increased incarceration. If it were that simple the entire world would have less crime. I do think that things like reduction in lead in the environment was part of the issue of skyrocketing crime during the early’90s generation being affected by the environment.
Like the death penalty a lot of it is perception. Like American cities being dangerous during that era and earlier. It’s partially “copaganda” and partially scapegoating vulnerable populations. Nothing got solved most crimes go unreported, not investigated or simply ignored.
Don't forget the selective impact of abortion. It has been posited that many kids who would grow up to be predators (due to dire family circumstances) were aborted, thereby lowering crime rates in the 1990's.
@@joanblond8527 Margaret Sanger's dream come true. Just don't mention that to a Democrat or their head will explode!
@@joanblond8527 lol what. That's nonsensical and completely unknowable. That doesn't make sense.
The counter argument isn't very believable. Crime decreased because the government made an active effort to stop and country crime not because of lead or abortion.
@@kordellswoffer1520 I think it's quite inferable through careful study of abortion demographics over time. I'm certainly not the first to voice this hypothesis. It's been a well known idea for over a decade..
The state i live in turned into a pot hole
4:18 That's not where Delaware is.
You're right, sorry that sign has been missplaced 🤦♂️
Video was very informative but the music I believe came from the loe making scenes in broke back Mountain made my spine cringe
How much circles do you have smh since you need at least 3000 for the USA if it’s every 100000 person
The legalization of abortion is just sad.
Not for people in poverty, namely young women and teens, abused and abandoned. Not for mothers carrying stillborns that need to be evacuated to save the mothers life. The hidden misery of the unwanted children forcefully incubated and dropped into the world...I could go on.
cant wait for the red state crime wave of the late 2030s and early 40s!!!
Guess that's why they call New York the red apple 🙊

That's what the Native Americans said
@@SmallCirclesForward funny so did the English...
The next thing they said was “There can only be one”
Florida be big
It be sinking into the ocean too.
What's the population now USA?
Around 332.4 million people.
We all know no one lives in Wyoming
Am I the only one who sees bifshteks?
Why r the southern states growing so slowly
The southern states have always been mainly rural and agriculture based. The civil war and reconstruction also destroyed the southern economy in its aftermath so the southern states remained poor.
There are exceptions like Texas and Florida however. But the south in general is doing a lot better than what it was a few decades ago.
The south is growing fast what are you talking about?
@@JaKingScomez even the us western states were growing very quickly compared to the south and to not mention how the north is basically far more populated
@@Floppedd isnt the souths major cities increasing by 900%-2000% since the 50s or 80s. I’ve seen that the south mega cities is going to rival the north’s megalopolis
@@JaKingScomez seems like u didnt get my point. My point was that even though southern states were part of the first ones who gained independence they still grew pretty slowly amd compared to small western states who got inhabited were lately and that the climate is unhabitable compared to the south they r now rivaling a lot of southern states expect texsas and florida
They went to war with them. people don't like it today but that is how every nation on earth did things. also all the tribes did that same things
Very true.

Yeah.. I just realized how small this amazing channel is

2:55 In the Mexican - American War US stole what today is California, Utah, New Mexico, Texas, Colorado, Arizona and part of Wyoming, Kansas and Oklahoma. Not only Texas and California.
It was manifest destiny.
And Spain stole those lands from the natives and Mexico got the lands after their revolution. Regardless, the lands where from the Native Americans. Imperialism.
Only New Mexico cares about new mexico
Texas was already an independent nation for 10 years when it broke away from Mexico.
While you could use the word stole, america also paid $15 million for that territory in the Mexican cession of 1848 which is quite interesting as countries typically don’t throw money at other countries they beat in a war, instead they plunder them economically.
@@blackhole9961 didn’t Germany get a ton of aid after ww2
@@ like
9:33 this didn't age well
Maybe with history, we'll see
Update: California looses chips and is looking like current West Virginia
California lost less than .5% of our population. If we seceded from the nation, we’d be the 5th largest economy in the world. How does that compare to West Virginia? I don’t get it. Please explain.
Poopulation
Wanna move to fuckfuckland
Please stop the nonsense about Columbus discovering America. The first Europeans to discover North America landed in what is now Newfoundland in Canada - FIVE HUNDRED YEARS BEFORE COLUMBUS. Additionally, Columbus never set foot in what is now the USA. Please stop telling the crap about Columbus, who discovered the Caribbean islands.
Leif Erikson sure was one of the first Europeans to enter America, but it didn’t do anything. Columbus did some stupid and terrible stuff, but it lead to the major colonization efforts of european empires. So sure technically you are right the vikings made it first, but they had 0 impact, while columbus, as bad as he acted, had the larger impact so it isn’t wrong exactly to say
Alabama was actually at one point the 7th most populous state
Now it isnt even in the 20th
It only has about as much people as the baltics conbined (5 million)
Great channel! Don't know why I just discover it now.
I used to live in Oregon. I now live in Toronto Canada
In Canada, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and northern Ontario deserve more population
The volume is too low !
Excellent work. It would be very interesting to see a video showing the toll Covid played on the population.
West: vroom vroom
East: GAS GAAAAS GAAAS!
Stop coming to Texas!
From the sources I could find, the us is estimated to surpass 400 million around 2060
Based entirely on a Democrat designed flood of ILLEGAL immigration.
Minus me. I’ll be gone, unless I live to 110. My goal is 100, so those would be bonus years, courtesy of science. I just really wanna see what happens. 2060 gonna be so interesting.
@@merrywalsh2809 dude ill be 52 in 2060...
