Rural Urban Projection (RUP) Software

Rural Urban Projection (RUP) Software

The Census Bureau’s Rural and Urban Projection Program (RUP) performs cohort component projections for an unlimited number of populations or areas. The number of subpopulations for which projections may be calculated has been expanded with the addition of a second program, RUPAGG. RUPAGG aggregates RUP output files to produce consistent sets of projections at multiple geographic levels (e.g., national and subnational projections). A third program, RUPCombine, allows for the isolation and exact allocation of demographic shocks (e.g., deaths from famine or civil conflict) to one half of a projection year. An updated user interface for RUP, RUPAGG, and RUPCombine—called RUPEX—has been written in Microsoft Excel and includes expanded program functionality using Visual Basic macros, Excel charts and graphs, and a series of Excel-based input-output utility programs. The RUPEX dashboard can be used to review, edit, run, debug, and extract a full list of user-defined output tables and charts in Excel.

Documentation

There are two documents available for download to guide RUP users.

The first document, The Rural-Urban Projection (RUP) Program, A User's Guide, contains a complete overview of the RUP, RUPEX, RUPAGG, and RUPCombine programs.

The second file, RUPSUM2, contains a quick-reference guide to RUP data and input file format. By default, these documents are included in the USCB_Tools installation.
