Who is in My State/Territory?
- Select your state or territory from the dropdown list.
- Then view population variables in the map below to get a view of who lives in your state or territory.
- For each demographic factor, hover over the gray bar for the percentage of the total U.S. population in that category.
- In the National View (U.S. map), Select a Population Factor from the dropdown list and then hover over states/territories to see demographic data for the selected factor.
- Examine factors that are not required for STOP but which can indicate greater needs.
How to Use This Page
The population landscape tells you who is in your state through demographics factors including those required for STOP applications and reports. For example, the data shown here give you information about the population sizes of historically underserved populations within your state.
Tips
- The teal line indicates the % of the total state or territory population for the factor.
- Hover over the blue line to see the total population for the factor.
- Where the teal line is longer than the gray bar, the total population in the state/territory for the factor exceeds the U.S. average.

- Look at Census Bureau resources on state and county-level geographic distribution of demographic groups at the state and county levels. Note that these data are less intersectional and do not show subgroups or a breakdown by gender of each demographic group, but do provide helpful county and census tract level data as you zoom in.
- Review and analyze county-level poverty and unemployment data with this Census map.
- Ask yourself: what do the numbers say about who is in the state/territory? Who is missing from the available data?
- Other Interactive Census Maps.
- You also can obtain additional state-level data at the intersection of social/economic issues and broader demographic factors:The Household Pulse Survey by the US Census has data tables on expanded populations and across important economic and social factors, like childcare costs across age, gender, race and including transgender and people with disabilities. Tables include state-level data for 51 States and 15 metro areas, but no Territories or more local-level data.
- Many states are compiling open-access data tools that provide raw data tables and other maps or visualizations at the county, zip, or other local levels. For example, see Connecticut’s Data Collaborative. Does your state or territory have similar tools?
- For additional data on marginalized or historically underserved populations in general, you can find some using tools such as UCLA’s LGBT Data & Demographicsdashboard, the Black Wealth Data Center, or the Native Land Information System. You may want or need to explore further for similar dashboards or data tools on specific populations and/or topics of interest.
