United States Mean vs. Median Population 1790 to 2025

Chart by AwesomePotato170
Last updated: Wednesday June 25th, 2025
This is a line chart displaying the growth of the United States' average against its median population from the 1790 census to 2025.
All years ending in 0 use census data; other years are official estimates also from the Census Bureau.
Average is the total of all the states added up, divided by the number of states. Median is either the center value of all the data listed by value, or if there're two, the average of them.
Excluding Washington, DC
The median states are currently Kentucky (ranked 25) and Louisiana (ranked 26).
