Subnational Population Data by Geographic Area

The Census Bureau calculates subnational 5-year age/sex group population estimates and projections for various countries from 2000 to as far as 2040, depending on sponsor needs. Census Bureau subnational population data are consistent with the national projections from the U.S. Census Bureau's International Database and are linked to digital maps of the subnational administrative areas.

Sponsors for this work include the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). Past sponsors included multiple bureaus at the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). A selection of the subnational products available on this page are also available in the Census Bureau’s International Database (IDB), the DHS Program Spatial Data Repository, and the Humanitarian Data Exchange
