Anyone who suspects there are more women than men where they live, or vice versa, will find fodder for their suspicions in new data from the US Census Bureau. Whether it refutes or confirms their suspicions likely depends on where they live.
- Women outnumber men in the largest urban counties east of the Mississippi River, along the Eastern Seaboard, and in the Deep South, while the West skews male, according to data released last week from five-year estimates from the 2022 American Community Survey, the most comprehensive source of data on American life. Those numbers were also backed up by age and sex figures from the 2020 census released earlier this year, per the AP.
