Movoto recently polled 400 Americans, asking them to locate 7 states. The average correct identifications will surprise you. 3.4. To make matters worse, 30% of those surveyed believed the United States' population to be between 1 and 2 billion. (The real population of the United States is slightly over 317 million, while only China and India have over 1 billion people with 1.3 and 1.2 billion, respectively.)
Movoto reported that the largest, most iconic states were predictably correctly identified more often than the smaller states. Among these commonly mistaken states are Rhode Island, Connecticut, Delaware, New Hampshire, and Vermont. Watch the video below to see just how little we know about geography.
