Just because I'm curious by nature,
and I felt like posting something
random to update this record:
Los Angeles · Population = 4.03 million (2016)
*****
California · Population = 39.14 million (2015)
*****
U.S.A. · Population = 321.42 million (2015)
*****
World · Population = 7.35 billion (2015)
*****
Obviously,
these numbers
represent estimates
but they're much better,
I guess, than my best guesses.
