Should "Vital Statistics" be changed to "Vital Parameters"

The section "Vital Statistics" is misnamed, as the data contained pertains to a population instead of a sample of a population- so it's parameters, not stats.

"Vital Statistics" is what's used in the cited sources, and I've never heard the term "Vital Parameters". -- Beland (talk) 23:29, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

U.S. demographic table, 1935–2021

Where do the numbers for immigration come from? I don't see a source. Twopower332.1938 (talk) 21:08, 23 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Numbers from US census bureau are different, the numbers in the table should be deleted. United Census Bureau - CPS Historical Migration/Geographic Mobility Tables. Givibidou (talk) 19:10, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the unsourced data, I will maybe include migration rate in the table later. Givibidou (talk) 20:10, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Population pyramid in infobox

An edit on August 30, 2022 replaced an animated population pyramid with a static one. I liked the animated one better. Is there a good reason for the change? Twopower332.1938 (talk) 14:57, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Page renaming - Demographics or Demography

This article was recently moved from "Demographics of the United States" to "Demography of the United States". It appears that this was a bold move, without any discussion. As best I can tell, Demographics is the preferred term in American English while Demography is the preferred term in British English. "Demography of the United States" sounds pretty weird to my American ears. Clearly, we should be using American English for this article. This needs to be moved back to Demographics, absent any discussion and consensus for the move. CAVincent (talk) 19:53, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Update on Population of the United States

This article uses July 1, 2021, and I would like to update it to January 1, 2022. The population as of January 1, 2022 is 332,403,650 according to the US Census Bureau. I do not want to edit it without discussing because the last time I did that, it didn't end well. I also have a population pyramid, but it might be copyrighted as I have found it on the Internet. Allan Polatcan (talk) 15:43, 10 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to change the number then so long as you change the source within the infobox so it does not link back to the July 2021 figure. If you found the population pyramid online then it would most likely be copyrighted yes. If you are up to it, feel free to create your own population pyramid to update it.
