The West South Central States form one of the nine Census Bureau Divisions of the United States that are officially designated by the United States Census Bureau. Four states compose the division: Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and the state that dominates the region is Texas. It is larger in area than the three others combined. The division is one of the three that together make up the broader Census Bureau Region known as the South (the other two being the South Atlantic States and the East South Central States).[1] The unofficial term South Central States refers to approximately the same area. DemographicsAs of 2013, the West South Central States had a combined population of 37,849,785. The West South Central region covers 443,501 square miles.
