If you want to look up the population for the rest for the world try the World Bank's data tool.
I created this infographic to compare the unemployment rate over the last 18 months to the Great Depression.
Data from Bureau of Labor Statistics: Current Population Survey (CPS)
Red line = net worth of at least $1 million (not including primary residences)Gray line = number of households with investible assets of at least $1 million
Screenshot from an interactive mapping tool from OECD Regional Statistics. While you can look at any region I choose North America. The color indicates the GDP per capita: blue is low income while red is high income. The graph on the right is comparing % of population with high school education vs unemployment. (The red circle, indicating very high income, belongs to Washington DC)

One of several maps showing territories re-sized according different variables. More maps can be found at WorldMapper run by SASI Group (University of Sheffield) and Mark Newman (University of Michigan). The map below displays the population in 2000.

"The Census Bureau defines ancestry as a person's ethnic origin, heritage, descent, or roots, which may reflect their place of birth, place of birth of parents or ancestors, and ethnic identities that have evolved within the United States." from a Census brief on US ancestry. The map below displays the ancestry with the largest population in each county. However, they may not be a majority (>50%) of the population.

Below is the question that was presented on the long form of the US Census. "In 2000, 58 percent of the population specified only one ancestry, 22 percent provided two ancestries, and 1 percent reported an unclassifiable ancestry such a mixture or adopted. Another 19 percent did not report any ancestry at all."

I found two maps which show population density in the United States. The relative height of each major city reflects its population. The first map show the population in 1990. It was created by ThoughtForm (formerly Agnew Moyer Smith Inc.) for the book UnderstandingUSA.

The second map show the population in 2000. It was created by Joe Lertola for Time Magazine.

I am comparing the GDP per Capita of the United States with Japan, India, China, and Indonesia over the last 500 years. (GDP per Capita for each country is in 1990 international Geary-Khamis dollars, calculated from purchasing power parities (PPPs) of currencies and average prices of commodities.)

After coming across this graph about the share of world GDP (China, India, and US), I started to wonder what was the percentage back to 1500? The graph below shows the share of GDP over the last 500 years for China, India, Japan, Latin America, Western Europe, and United States. (Keep in mind that the change in population size will effect the size of the GDP)
