Finally done!

Its amazing how far some states have come, especially Florida and Nevada. Anyway, if you have any other requests on population info by state I'll be happy to reply. I'll be adding the number of electoral votes in parenthesis over the next few days over all the censuses.

On a side note, the "non-state territory" did not include DC, so it was all the territory that was not states yet when the particular census was taken.
