Orphaned references in Demographics of Florida

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Demographics of Florida's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "PopEstUS":

• From Florida: "Table 1. Annual Estimates of the Resident Population for the United States, Regions, States, and Puerto Rico: April 1, 2010 to July 1, 2018". U.S. Census Bureau. January 4, 2019. Retrieved January 4, 2019.
• From New York (state): "Table 1. Annual Estimates of the Resident Population for the United States, Regions, States, and Puerto Rico: April 1, 2010 to July 1, 2018". U.S. Census Bureau. January 4, 2019. Retrieved January 4, 2019.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 22:32, 9 February 2019 (UTC)

Historical Population table

It is not clear to me what the column for percentages is supposed to mean in the Historical Population table. Percentage of what? 99.240.24.24 (talk) 13:51, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

Ancestry

I removed the sentence that said, "As in other Deep South states settled largely in the 19th century, the vast majority have British Isles ancestry." This was cited to: Burian, A. Ward (July 3, 2018). The Creation of the American States. Morgan James Publishing. p. 349. ISBN 978-1-68350-910-3.

The problems with this claim are:

1. Florida was not "settled largely in the 19th century." Its population as of 2000 was more than 30 times its population as of 1900, due to significant migration in the 20th century from other states. By contrast, other Southern states such as Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina experienced much smaller increases in population during the 20th century.
2. U.S. Census statistics as of 2000 do not indicate that "the vast majority" of the population, in either Florida or other Deep South states, have British Isles ancestry. This report from the 2000 Census shows Florida's most common ancestry to be German, with 11.8%. Irish (10.3%) and English (9.2%) follow. Even if you assume that most of the people who listed their ancestry as "American" (7.8%) were also of British Isles descent and include people of Scottish and Welsh ancestry too, it's unlikely that you could get a majority listing themselves as British Isles descent in Florida, much less a vast majority, nor in most other Deep South states.
3. The cited source discusses the ancestry of white Floridians before the Civil War -- not the ancestry of Floridians in general in the 21st century. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:33, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

Pie chart renders data incorrectly

The percentages of Protestants and Catholics should account for two-thirds of the pie. Dhoodness (talk) 19:20, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

Ancestry by county

The map showing Oeceola County to have a majority of German amcestry is very strange. This isn't the case at all. The highest self-described group in Osceola County is Latin/Hispanic, and this includes the percentage that self-describes as white according to the 2020 census. The percentage of non-Latin white is only about 28%. See the census data here: https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/osceolacountyflorida Zantippy (talk) 19:29, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
