This edition also includes several figures on topics such as population growth through the decades, foreign-born residents, fastest-growing counties from 1790 to 2010, life expectancy through the years, and per capita income. Some interesting facts found in County and City Extra: Special Historical Edition include: *In 1790, Virginia was the most populous state with over 800,000 residents (including territories that are now West Virginia and Kentucky) *Between the first Census and the Civil War, the U.S population grew by more than 30 percent each decade *In 1870, only 3 percent of U.S. residents were 65 years old and over. With increased life expectancy and lower birth rates, the proportion had grown to 13 percent by 2010. *The 1900 census showed that Wyoming, Montana, and Nevada had 150 men for every 100 women. In 2010, the ratio was 96.7 men for every 100 women at the national level. *Mississippi had the lowest per-capita income throughout the 80-year time period between 1930 and 2010. *From 1910 to 1920, Los Angeles experienced growth from Hollywood's dominance in the film industry.
