Population Projections

The state population projections associated with this release were produced by the Population Division as an interim product consistent with the 2004 Interim National Population Projections released in March 2004. The projections were produced for each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia by age and sex for the years 2001 to 2030, based on Census 2000 results, and the general assumption that recent state-specific trends in fertility, mortality, domestic migration, and international migration will continue. The projections to 2006 have been superseded by population estimates which are available on the Estimates web site.
