NOTE-The narrow column under each census year shows the order of the states and territories when arranged according to magnitude of population. CENTER OF POPULATION AND ITS MEDIAN POINT. The center of population is the center of gravity of the population of the country, each individual being assumed to have the same weight. What is known as the median point is the point of intersection of the line dividing the population equally north and south with the line dividing it equally east and west. The center of population in 1900 was at a point six miles southeast of Columbus, Ind., or north latitude 39 degrees and 9.5 minutes and west longitude 85 degrees 48.9 minutes. The median point in 1900 was at Spartanburg, Ind.. or latitude 40 degrees 4 minutes and 22 seconds and longitude 84 degrees 51 minutes and 29 seconds. The center of area of the United States, excluding Alaska and Hawaii and other recent accessions, is in northern Kansas, in approximate latitude 39 degrees 55 minutes and approximate longitude 98 degrees 50 minutes. The center of population is therefore about three-fourths of a degree south and more than thirteen degrees east of the center of area. POPULATION OF THE UNITED STATES AT EACH CENSUS (1850-1900).
