Fun Stats--I am Family



Did you know-

  • Twenty percent of the people in the country live alone?
  • That 3/4 of the people in the United States live in urban areas?
  • The median age of females is almost 3 years higher than that of males?
  • If an election were held and all the females voted one way and the males another, the female vote would win?
  • Women, on average, live 5 years longer than men (you go girls!)?
  • A little over 80 percent of people living in this country are white (that was a surprise to me, maybe cause I live in California in a Mexican neighborhood)?
  • There are 3 65 year-old men to every 4 65 year old women (hey men, bet you can't wait till your 65!)?
  • Nearly all of us over 15 can read (whoever said Americans were stupid?)
  • All states but Louisana have a legal system based on English common law (is that why it's so wild in Nola?)
  • We're near to the point that there are as many cell phones as land lines?
  • Two-thirds of the people in this country use the Internet?
  • The Bahamas and the US haven't agreed on a maritime boundary (hmmmm war with Nassau?)
