The mean center of the United States population is determined by the United States Census Bureau from the results of each national census. The Bureau defines it as follows: The concept of the center of population as used by the U.S. Census Bureau is that of a balance point. The center of population is the point at which an imaginary, weightless, rigid, and flat (no elevation effects) surface representation of the 50 states (or 48 conterminous states for calculations made prior to 1960) and the District of Columbia would balance if weights of identical size were placed on it so that each weight represented the location on one person. More specifically, this calculation is called the mean center of population.

  • Le centre démographique de la population des États-Unis est déterminé par le Bureau du recensement américain à partir des résultats de chaque recensement national. Le Bureau le définit comme suit: « Le concept de centre démographique utilisé par le Bureau de recensement des États-Unis est celui du point d'équilibre. Le centre démographique est le point auquel une représentation de surface imaginaire, sans poids, rigide et plane (sans effet d’altitude) des 50 États (ou 48 États contigus pour les calculs effectués avant 1960) et le District de Columbia s’équilibrerait si des poids de taille identique étaient placés sur celui-ci de sorte que chaque poids représente l'emplacement d'une personne. Plus spécifiquement, ce calcul est appelé le centre démographique (the mean center of population) » (fr)
