Census Estimates
The Census Bureau’s Population Estimates Program produces estimates of the population of the nation, states, counties, cities, and towns. Demographic components of population change (births, deaths, and migration) and characteristics (age, sex, race, and Hispanic origin) are produced annually. These estimates are best for national comparisons.
