California to New York.
Among the nation’s 10 fastest-growing states
were four in the Rocky Mountains: Nevada
ranking first for the 17th consecutive
year with a growth rate of 3.4 percent, Arizona (second), Idaho (fifth)
and Utah (eighth).
The remaining top 10 states were all
coastal: Florida (third),
Texas (fourth), Georgia (sixth), Delaware

Hawaii (10th).
On the United States Map the 10 fastest-growing states from 2003 to 2006, six
were in the West and four in the South. The South now accounts for 36 percent of
the nation’s total population, with the West comprising 23 percent, the
Midwest 22 percent and the Northeast 19 percent. (See Table 1. [Excel])
California, Texas and Florida combined for 32 percent of the nation’s
numerical population increase between 2002 and 2003. (See Table 3. [Excel])
California remained the most populous state in the nation with 35.5 million
people in 2003. The second and third most populous states were Texas (22.1
million) and New York (19.2 million). There was only one change in the ranking
of the 10 most populous states between 2002 and 2003, as Georgia (ninth) passed
