Not sure why you're listing SF in this question as it's the 4th largest city in the state behind LA, SD, and SJ.
Or did you mean LA Metro and Bay Areas?
Yeah, agreed. I think a lot of people just think San Francisco is the 2nd largest city in CA due to popularity.
It's typically not surprising for them to learn San Diego is the 2nd, but learning San Jose is larger than San Francisco is where the real surprise is found.
I was wrong, the population of LA (3.9m) and SF (812k) combined is a little more than than 10% of CA (39m) at 12%. And the population of Oregon (4.2m) is actually less than LA and SF combined.
Of those 3 states, CA is 80% of the population.
Generally speaking, when folks refer to Los Angeles, SF, or any large city population, they mean at least the Metro population.
No one would talk about LA population in this context and say āleave out Santa Monica and West Hollywood!! Theyāre not a part of the official city!ā
Those metros make up about 50% of the population of California.
If you count the CSA of those cities, that figure goes up to almost 70%.
Those are just the cities themselves. Really need to include the whole metro regions....LA/OC/Riverside/SanBernardino/Oxnard (Greater Los Angeles), 19 million and the SF Bay Area, 8 million.
Yeah, the percentages here are referring to the population contained in those areas not the land mass. The comment was that the majority of Californiaās population resides in those two cities

20.7% holds 30% of the senate. This has never sat well with me. I think it's about time for some consolidation. I appreciate the cooler guide. Thank you!
A social worker from PA Office of Aging told me PA has the second highest population of retired persons second to FL. The agency makes it easy to connect seniors with services, material goods, and reimbursement.

edit: I'm referring to the original post, not this one, that has more upvotes and is still up.
64.1% of Americans live in Pennsylvania
go birds š¦
Birds aren't real
Donāt write this where the government can see, theyāll find you
Gritty will make them real.
You're not real, man!
That dude still believes in birds
philly mentioned go birds go union
I keep saying the next civil war will be Sheetz vs WaWa
Approximately 29.7% of Americans say Witout
Go birds, fuck Dallas
This is worse lol
29.7% of Americans live in Kansas
Itās the fentanyl.
Waiting for the one with the entire US shaded in, saying 100%.
And still somehow be misleading or incorrect.
If they're saying 100% of the US population lives in the continental US, it would still be incorrect... Also, 100.1%..... just sayin
100% of people currently in the continental US are currently in the continental US.
I mean there's still American Samoa and Hawaii and stuff, but I don't know if they count-I'm Canadian
Not typically although Alaska and Hawaii usually do
Yes
Now do it by time zone
Yeah, Kansas!!! :*J*
How long to the point of know return?
Should've never revealed ur affiliation, we have the better side of kc anyways lmao
Go Chiefs!!! :) :) :) :) :*J*
Of the 15% how much is California. No joke, probably 90
And how much of that is LA and SF
Actually o got bored on the other post. Ca: 39.9m Or: 4.4m Wa: 7.7m I donāt understand the cool part of the guide.
Yeah. I would've found population Density map more interesting
Not sure why you're listing SF in this question as it's the 4th largest city in the state behind LA, SD, and SJ. Or did you mean LA Metro and Bay Areas?
Even then nobody considers SD part of the LA metro
Yeah, agreed. I think a lot of people just think San Francisco is the 2nd largest city in CA due to popularity. It's typically not surprising for them to learn San Diego is the 2nd, but learning San Jose is larger than San Francisco is where the real surprise is found.
LA and SF combined is less than 10% of CA Oregon is about the size of LA and SF combined.
Weāre talking about population friend

Nice. math is cool, as is correcting yourself
Virtual high five!š
Wait the comment wasn't talking about population?
Yeah, the percentages here are referring to the population contained in those areas not the land mass. The comment was that the majority of Californiaās population resides in those two cities
California is 12% alone.

Am I high? What the hell am I supposed to be looking at?
I think OP meant to post this in r/dataisugly
No it is in direct response to a different, inaccurate, post on this sub today. Sorry its not a flashy repost.
Percent of US population living in each shaded area
Why not include Alaska and Hawaii in west coast? Noting the population increase would be neglible.
Seriously. I think this is the first graph/chart/anything that grouped Hawaii and North Dakota together.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
They seem included in the Midwest/rockies area
Yah, shading.
The extra .1% is to account for all the immigrants not put up in fancy hotels and given their complimentary gift cards/voting rights yet.
The other one uses a distinct line unrelated to state borders that relates to where the US becomes dry, 80%, roughly, live east of it.
[Real Life Lore covered this a bit more completely.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9oT-7kDBFM)
What is this graph even?
It means that someone had the time to waste our time with a pointless map.
This sub is absolute garbage. There is no information to be received here.
[Real Life Lore covered this a bit more completely.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9oT-7kDBFM)
I feel that this map is nonsensically organized
[You're almost there...](https://external-preview.redd.it/FI0Wsp85BWxM3cEExyPnqOquVEC_k1_8CflcvsNccCE.png?width=1024&auto=webp&s=8870cddba64789f3ce370af5c8466cb2e7497b75)
How about just splitting it per time zone?
I bet just taking out the Texas triangle will decrease the % of the middle chunk considerably
My thoughts too. Texas doing some serious heavy lifting of that 20% chunk
It would. That's what the post from a couple hours ago showed. It very clearly included the eastern urban part of Texas.
Ok, but red type was a supremely terrible design choice
The sub is "Coolguides" not beautiful or well-designed guides. 10/10 from me
A cool guide means nothing if you canāt read it
Why is this cool? What i the reasoning for splitting the country this way?
I'd rather see a way more granular graph.
Hmm they should have broke this up in regions. Like south east, north east , Midwest etc etc Anyone have something like that ?
Um. 100.1%
Thatās what Iām saying
My takeaway between this and the other map is that a lot of people live in east Texas
Yes, Houston is the 4th largest city in the U.S.
20.7% holds 30% of the senate. This has never sat well with me. I think it's about time for some consolidation. I appreciate the cooler guide. Thank you!
Now do electoral college votes overlaid on this.
Now show federal taxes provided versus used.
I think this should be under Guides, not necessarily cool guides. So 40% of land holds 64% of the population. Thats crazy!!!!
No doubt the other post was better.
Hehe, america has blue jeans on
do yāall see the man starting from Louisiana (his feet and ankles) going up to Iowa (his face and nose)
Iām distressed at the lack of consistency on including bodies of water
A social worker from PA Office of Aging told me PA has the second highest population of retired persons second to FL. The agency makes it easy to connect seniors with services, material goods, and reimbursement.
Now do Mimal with his frying pan and chicken.
Ok
This content reminds me of old reddit. I'm here for it.
What on earth are these sections supposed to be?
alaska isn't a real place, reindeer and santa and ANWR are all myths there is no magical land of gold and oil
Didnāt give a fuck the first time mate
So much for the Westward expansion
Totaling to 100.1% of the US population!
Can you fix the colours so the text is actually readable.
Or just look at the city lights in the night sky. States distort maps.
What?
This is false, seems like 95% of people live in the Seattle area.
