Contrary to popular opinion, the answer is not "single digits".

 

World - 2,712, 163,366

United States - 168,152,385

 

And here I thought it was just McPapa and his lovely bride Eve in the beginning...

I bet a ton of people missed that the input date should be DD/MM/YYYY. :D

 

I caught that when it said June 3, 1966 for my birthday.

World -> 2,840,651,416

US -> 177,290,268

 

It's also interesting to look at US population by state since 1790 and observe the change in population movement as well as growth.

 

List of U.S. states by historical population - Wikipedia

 

In 1860, the population was dominated by Virginia, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, South Carolina, Louisiana, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Texas. In that order.

 

In 1870, due to the outcome of the Civil War, a complete shift in population location had taken place. The top 10 became New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Missouri, Indiana, Massachusetts, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia.

 

Another shift that stands out is that in 1950 Florida was the 20th most populous state, behind Kentucky at 19. When I moved to Florida in 1982 it had risen to 7th. Last year, Florida passed New York to become the 3rd largest state by population.

Snow birds are just the worst. :D
