If America Were a Village: A Book about the People of the United States by David J. Smith, the author reduces the USA to the same-size 100-person village.
In it we learn that 50 of 100 live in just nine states (12 of them in California). The combined populations of five rural states “” Alaska, Vermont, Wyoming, North Dakota and South Dakota “” amount to just one person. (Each “person” equals more than 3 million people.)
It also tackles economic inequality, noting that:
“¢Five people share more than half the USA’s wealth;
“¢One person controls more than 30%;
“¢The 60 poorest share about 4%.
