The U.S. veteran population totals 19 million men and women living in the United States and Puerto Rico who have served on active duty in the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps or Coast Guard.

After serving their country, millions of military veterans contribute to the nation in another, important way: as entrepreneurs.

According to the 2010 Census, there were 14,047 veterans living in the four Island Areas (American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands and the U.S. Virgin Islands) in 2010. They represented 5.6 percent of the civilian Island Area population age 18 and over.

The Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS) provides a variety of information critical to understanding the needs of America’s veterans.

As we celebrate those who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces this Veterans Day, many Americans may want to learn more about the veterans who live in and around their area. Today the Census Bureau released a series of infographics detailing characteristics of veterans within each state, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.

Experts from the Census Bureau describe the objectives of their work and explain census and survey results. The bureau conducts more than 100 surveys each year.
