New U.S. Center of population is 484 miles west of Columbia, KY It's in Plato, Texas Co., MO: Now the focus of national attention and the burning issue: What are the eats like out there? From U.S. Census 2010 Each decade, after it tabulates the decennial census, the Census Bureau calculates the center of population. The National Mean Center of Population based on the 2010 Census is near Plato, MO, an incorporated village in Texas County. If you go: Plato, MO, is 484 miles west of Columbia, KY; it is west of St. Louis, east of Springfield, and south of Columbia, MO Information about this Plato, MO town, from truckers or travelers from South Central Kentuckians abroad, in Missouri (not to be mistaken for one of those other M states; there's a clear shortage of B states; looks like some would change their names to avoid the confusement) welcome. Any information welcome, but those of us with Knifley DNA really only care about what the eats are like. -EW The center is determined as the place where an imaginary, flat, weightless and rigid map of the United States would balance perfectly if all residents were of identical weight. In 2000, Edgar Springs, Mo., was announced as the new U.S. population center. Historically, the center of population has followed a trail that reflects the sweep of the nation's brush stroke across America's population canvas. The sweep reflects the settling of the frontier, waves of immigration and the migration west and south. Since 1790, the location has moved in a westerly, then a more southerly pattern. In 2000, the new center of population was more than 1,000 miles from the first center in 1790, which was near Chestertown, MD. The mean center of population for Kentucky: 4339367,+37.824499,-085.248467 Someone adept in using the coordinates might enlighten everyone on location. This story was posted on 2011-04-12 01:08:40
