The Census Bureau has reviewed this data product to ensure appropriate access, use, and disclosure avoidance protection of the confidential source data used to produce this product (Data Management System (DMS) number: P-6000042 and P-7501659. Disclosure Review Board (DRB) approval number: CBDRB-FY25-0466).
The estimates are based on the 2020 Modified Age and Race Census (MARC) file and include changes from Count Question Resolution, the Post-Census Group Quarters Review, and geographic revisions. The estimates add births to, subtract deaths from, and add net migration to the April 1, 2020 estimates base. For population estimates methodology statements, see https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/popest/technical-documentation/methodology.html.
Race data in the Vintage 2025 estimates are based on the 1997 Office of Management and Budget Standards for Maintaining, Collecting, and Presenting Federal Data on Race and Ethnicity. "In combination" means in combination with one or more other races. The sum of the five race groups adds to more than the total population because individuals may report more than one race. Hispanic origin is considered an ethnicity, not a race. Hispanics may be of any race. Responses of “Some Other Race” from the decennial census are modified to be consistent with the race categories that appear in our input data. This contributes to differences between the population for specific race categories shown and those published from the 2020 Census. To learn more about the “Modified Race” process, go to https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/popest/technical-documentation/research/modified-race-data.html.
All geographic boundaries for the 2025 population estimates series are as of January 1, 2025. Substantial geographic changes to counties can be found on the Census Bureau website at https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/geography/technical-documentation/county-changes.html.
