Veterans comprise roughly 6% of the U.S. population, U.S. Census Bureau data shows. In some states, however, veterans represent an even larger part of the public.
The Census Bureau’s most recent American Community Survey estimates more than 15.8 million Americans previously served. Unsurprisingly, the nation’s most-populated states — Texas, Florida, and California — are home to the most veterans.
Each state has more than 1 million veterans, but Texas has the greatest number at nearly 1.4 million.
