Provisional Projections of the Population of States, by Age and Sex: 1980 to 2000

Written by:
P25-937

Abstract

This report presents projections of the resident population of each State by 5-year age groups and sex for July 1, 1990 and 2000. These projections represent the first series of State population projections released by the Census Bureau that are based on the 1980 census results and that are consistent with the middle series of national population projections published as Current Population Reports, Series P-25, No. 922. This set of projections is provisional in that it was developed with a cohort-component projections model employing residual measures of migration. The projections presented here are not forecasts of each State's future growth patterns. They present the results of continuing the migration patterns by age and sex estimated for the 1970-80 decade. When the full migration data are tabulated from the 1980 census question on residence 5 years ago, we will prepare a revised set of State population projections using more refined measures of migration.
