Texas's COP is a little south of Temple.

[Verily]

Looks like Alaska, Minnesota, Rhode Island, Utah, Indiana and Georgia hit their biggest cities right on, and Virginia's capital seems to be in an appropriate place.

New York's center of population is almost outside the state!

I noticed that, too.

[Ban my account ffs!]

Ours is on a rural section of I94 near the Crow River.. I think there are some farms around it and some new housing developments.

Actually, w/ a non-convex state like NY, it could have very well been outside the state. And Hawaii's center is in the water

Wow, ours is down in the valley... says a lot about how much more people wanna live in SoCal than NorCal...

Its not surprising given that 60% of you Congressional districts are below the nearly horizontal line running along the northern border of San Bernardino, Kern, and San Luis Obispo counties.


It's very fitting that Ohio's COP falls directly on 1-71 which cuts through all three of our biggest cities.  I'm surprised that it isn't just a bit closer to Columbus though.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Minnesota's far from hits the biggest city head on, it's deep in the exurbs. At the last census it was the exurb of Rogers.

Yeah, I noticed... Just Los Angeles-Orange-San Bernardino-Riverside-San Diego counties=already half of our population.

I'm surprised it's not closer to the coast.

I've always wanted to know Canada's COP. I've guessed it's probably somewhere north of Toronto.

In 1993, it was Kawartha Lakes, Ontario.

Washington's is in Enumclaw right? It's interesting how some of the centers of population are in the middle of nowhere like Nevada's. Hawaii is funny being in the water. I've actually wondered about Canada. It would amazing to know the center of pop. for the country and the provinces.

According to whom?

Kawartha Lakes didnt even exist in 1993, its an amalgamated municipality that amalgamated in like 2001. Plus, 1993 wasnt even a census year. However, it makes sense. I'd reckon it's moved further west towards Barrie by now.

Ours is just south of North Bend, now.  It was Enumclaw on another one I saw.  I'm a little surprised it's moved north for us...since all of our fastest-growing counties are in the south.

It's in what is now Kawartha Lakes, then Laxton.

I wish I could use those cool little name shortenings... so then I'd be living in "NorMN"

But then people would start to think I was somehow endorsing Norm Coleman...

Correction: the Township of Laxton, Digby and Longford

Correction: the Township of Laxton, Digby and Longford

Yeah, that's a good name for a township.  Whatever you say, Canada

(Britain lickers.)

Oh, the best is "The United Townships of Dysart, Bruton, Clyde, Dudley, Eyre, Guilford, Harburn, Harcourt and Havelock"
