That's only if the 2020 US census is accurate (it's not)
So what perfectly accurate data source do you propose this map be based on?
I work in municipal government. We pretty much ignore the 2020 census where we legally can. It was a shitshow that was intentionally sabotaged. With the while country on lockdown for several months, it should have been the most precise census ever, but Trump had to fuck it up like everything else he touches.
We do our local estimates based on number of housing units and the demographics of the type of housing (e.g. houses that cost 5 million dollars have fewer occupants per bedroom than $200,000 homes).
I'm talking about the above claims that certain states are ESTIMATED to have more people than LA county.
Shouldn't you ask OP?
