With more than 340 million people nationwide, the US has one of the largest populations in the world — and almost a third of its residents belong to just three states.
Using 2024 data from the Census Bureau, Visual Capitalist resized each US state based on its total population.
America's most populous states are California (39.4 million), Texas (31.3 million) and Florida (23.4 million).
While Alaska is the country's biggest state by land area (665,384 square miles), it has the third-smallest population, at 700,000.
Vermont and Wyoming are tied for the lowest number of residents overall, with 600,000 people each.
