“As of March 20, 2014, the United States has a total population of 317 million, making it the third-most populous country in the world. It is very urbanized, with 82% residing in cities and suburbs as of 2011 (the worldwide urban rate is 52%). California and Texas are the most populous states, as the mean center of U.S. population has consistently shifted westward and southward. New York City is the most populous city in the United States.

The total fertility rate in the United States estimated for 2012 is 1.88 children per woman, which is below the replacement fertility rate of approximately 2.1. Compared to other Western countries, in 2011, U.S. fertility rate was lower than that of France (2.02) and the United Kingdom (1.97). However, U.S. population growth is among the highest in industrialized countries, because the differences in fertility rates are less than the differences in immigration levels, which are higher in the U.S. The United States Census Bureau shows population increase of 0.75% for the twelve-month period ending in July 2012. Though high by industrialized country standards, this is below the world average annual rate of 1.1%.

There were over 158.6 million females in the United States in 2009. The number of males was 151.4 million. At age 85 and older, there were more than twice as many women as men. People under 20 years of age made up over a quarter of the U.S. population (27.3%), and people age 65 and over made up one-eighth (12.8%) in 2009. The national median age was 36.8 years.” [Demographics of the United States. Wikipedia]

The geospatial dashboard example “U.S. Population, percent change, 2010 to 2013” was created using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Spatial Dashboard solution from the area “What is a Dashboard” of ConceptDraw Solution Park.
