Hello everyone! Here are the latest population estimates according to the US Census as of July 2007 for the underdog regions.

Hawaii: 1,283,388 up 4,753 since 2006 *I have serious doubts that the state only grew this much and that there was as huge a exodus as the Census estimated but of course we'll have to wait until 2010 to find out whats really going on.

Alaska: 683,478 up 6,028 from since 2006. Go Alaska! Looks like it will surpass the 700,000 mark in about 3 yrs if current growth trends continue!

Puerto Rico: 3,941,459 up 15,488 since 2006. *Puerto Rico is inching ever so closely to 4 million! Dayum.

*The following estimates are from the CIA World Factbook

Guam: 173,456

American Samoa: 57,663

Northern Mariana Islands: 84,546

US Virgin Islands: 108,448

the more important number for the hawai'i numbers is that in 2007 they are 5.9% since 2000, and they are up almost 80,000 people since 2000.
