Percentage of Population By Timezone

Ever wonder what percentage of the population in the USA lives in which timezone? Well if your a nerd like me then perhaps you have. Today I will post the percentages circa 2006 and when I get time I will post the 2015 numbers so we can compare the change in percentage of populations by timezones throughout North America. Please note this lists does not include Alaska and Hawaii time zones.

2006 Numbers

Total Population of Eastern, Central, Mountain. and Pacific Time zones: 294,471,549

East Coast: 48%

Population: 141,631,478

Central Time Zone : 28.9%

Population: 85,385,031

Mountain Time Zone: 6.3%

Population: 18,715,536

Pacific Time Zone: 16.5%

Population: 48,739,504

 

What are your  predictions for the increases and decreases by time zone? My assumption will be that we will see an increase in Pacific Time Zones and Eastern Time Zone populations with a decrease in Mountain and Central time zones. Arizona was used as Mountain Time Zone not Pacific.
