New Vintage 2020 Population Estimates Available for Nation, States, Counties, and Puerto Rico Commonwealth and Municipios by Demographic Characteristics

June 17, 2021

Press Release Number CB21-TPS.67

JUNE 17, 2021 — The U.S. Census Bureau today released Vintage 2020 evaluation estimates of population for the nation, states and counties by age, sex, race and Hispanic origin, and for Puerto Rico Commonwealth and municipios by age and sex. These estimates are available as a limited number of downloadable datasets.

These estimates are based on the 2010 Census and were created without incorporation or consideration of the 2020 Census results. They are typically used in comparisons with the 2020 Census to make determinations about the accuracy of the estimates. Differences between the estimates and census counts are interpreted as error in the estimates and are used to inform population and housing unit estimates research and methodological improvements over the decade.
