Which state has the most transgender people? Here are the top 10

 No matter where you are, you're not alone

Transgender people can come from anywhere — the data proves it.

Over 2.8 million people in the U.S. are trans, according to a new report from the Williams Institute, including 724,000 youth ages 13 to 17. This accounts for one percent of the nation's total population 13 and older, 0.8 percent of adults (over 2.1 million people), and 3.3 percent of young people.

There isn't one state or one region where trans people tend to gather — the amount of those 18 and older who identify as trans are "similar across regions and range," according to the report, with the lowest being 0.7 percent in the South and the highest 0.9 percent in the Northeast.

Which state is the gayest? Here are the 10 states with the most LGBTQ+ people

Going by population alone, California is the state with the most trans people (263,700). This makes sense, as California has the largest overall population of any state. However, California's trans community makes up a smaller portion of the state's total population (just 0.86 percent).

Here are the states with the most trans people, per capita.

10. Kansas

Kansas' trans adults account for 0.99 percent of the state's overall population. That's 22,400 people.

8 & 9 (tied). Utah

1.01 percent of adults in Utah are Trans — 25,100 people. The state is tied with Tennessee for Trans people per capita, but has less than half the total population.

8 & 9 (tied). Tennessee

Tied with Utah, Tennessee's trans community also makes up 1.01 percent of the adult population, but is much larger with 56,100 people.

7. South Dakota

 South Dakota has slightly more Trans people, with the community accounting for 1.02 percent of the adult population. Not as many people live there, so that's only 7,100 total.

6. Nebraska

1.04 percent of adults in Nebraska are Trans — 15,700 of the total population.

5. Washington

Washington's Trans community makes up 1.07 percent of the overall adult population — 66,300 people.

62,400 adults in Massachusetts identify as Trans, accounting for 1.10 percent of the population.

3. Delaware

 1.12 percent of adults in Delaware are Trans. Because the state is small, that's only 9,100 people.

2. Vermont

Vermont's adult population has just 6,000 Trans people, but they account for 1.14 percent overall.


1. Minnesota

The state with the most Trans people per capita is Minnesota, with the community accounting for 1.21 percent of the overall adult population. That's 53,600 people.
