California Leads In Population
California tops the nation in population with a 1970 count of 19,696,840 as of April, a 25.3 percent rise from 1960. The Census Bureau notes gains in Los Angeles County and the City of Los Angeles, while New York remains uncounted in preliminary figures but is unlikely to overtake California. Emerging conclusions suggest possible gains in House seats and Electoral College votes for California.
