I could not find this study on the site, but it contains all sorts of other information.
The one I founmd most interesting was that men outnumber women in the USA:
- Men – 175,399,116
- Women – 173,636,378
That strikes me as counterintuitive, since women live longer than men.
The only reason I can think of is that illegal aliens are mainly men.
