Population Estimates

1990s: County Tables

Intercensal Estimates

These estimates have been developed by applying a mathematical formula to take into account differences between the postcensal time series population estimates and the 1990 and Census 2000 results.

Postcensal Estimates

Popular Tables

The Population Estimates Program produces for counties each year: total population estimates and county estimates by age, sex, race, and Hispanic origin. The release of total population estimates in the winter also includes demographic components of change. In the summer, the Program releases the estimates by age, sex, race, and Hispanic origin. The reference date for county population estimates is July 1.

NOTE: All population figures are based on the 1990 Census; they do not reflect Census 2000 counts.
