Population
I just went to check the US population (to measure it against the “six hundred million” that Jo from Boca Raton Florida quoted) and in doing so I ended up checking the population of the county I live in verses that of Minnesota as a whole as well as that of other states. What I found was a bit staggering.
As you may or may not be able to see here (click the image for full size) Hennepin County, Minnesota has more people that eight states and DC have total. Unbelievable. I also found that Hennepin County is home to about 25% of the states total population. I’m sure you’re completely bored by now, but I found it interesting.
