I heard in California state with population total about 35 million over than other states. California is top rank.
Now, it's 36.5 million as 2007 since it was 33.8 million in 2000.
CA had surpassed NY for #1 most populous in late 60's, NY was #1 in prior to that, later surpassed by TX for #2 in early 90's, NY is #3 right now but possibly surpass by FL in few years.
CA had been growing so rapidly during baby boom and internal migration (citizen who move from other states), now, it's alot change in after 90's and CA is losing the internal migration since they are growing from offspring (citizen born in state) and immigrants, hispanic population will going be majority (more than 50%) in CA in around 2040-2050, same goes to Texas in 2030-2040 as projected but Texas still get some internal migration right now.
