The last official census in the USA was carried out in 2010 and the population of Alabama at the time was recorded as 4,779,736 making it the 23[SUP]rd[/SUP] most populous state in the country. Like most states across USA, the population has continued to grow in each ten year period between censuses and an estimate for the Alabama population in 2012 puts the figure at just over the 4.8 million mark.
I meant to type 4 instead of 3.....You have to excuse me I am from Alabama:0008.....Still remarkable
