	Demographics of the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The demographics of the United States depict a largely urban nation, with 75 percent of its population living in urban and suburban areas.
		The mean population center of the United States has consistently shifted westward and southward, with California and Texas currently the most populous states.
