Median Center of US Population
According to the US Bureau of the Census, The Median Center of US Population is located at the intersection of two median lines, a north-south line constructed so that half of the nation's population lives east and half lives west of it, and an east-west line selected so that half of the Nation's population lives north and half lives south of it.
In 1950 the Median Center of US Population was located north of Richmond, Indiana in Wayne County. Since that time, it has moved south and west at every census. The 2000 U.S. Census data show the Median Center of US Population has moved to a point in northeast Daviess County approximately 75 miles north of Evansville. Because of its strategic location near the Median Center of US Population and the major urban centers and markets the VIP is a prime location for manufacturing, distribution or back office facilities. |
