Current Population Estimates
Summary: Current resident population
Database Detail
| Name | Current Population Estimates |
| Summary | Current resident population |
| Additional Background | This database estimates total resident population on July 1st of each year for the United States, states, counties, and places (also known as cities or towns). The benchmark for population estimates is the 2000 Census of Population and Housing.
We report data for cities and places based on the Census Bureau's intercensal method for 1990-1999. In all other cases, we rely on postcensal data. Due to this change in methodology, there may be larger than actual differences in values for states, counties, cities, and places population between 1999 and 2000.. For more information on how these estimates are generated, see Population Estimates Background or see Census methodology.

Set APA as default format
APA
Format or style, from the American Psychological Association, is commonly used for footnotes in behavioral and social science publications. APA citation is an author-year-system. It is one of the most common styles used and taught at colleges and high schools. See here for more details, including APA formatting for bibliographies.Chicago
Format or style (also known as Turabian), created by the University of Chicago, is commonly used for footnotes in history, business, and fine arts and occasionally in the humanities, sciences, and social sciences. The Chicago style has two systems of citation. The author-date system (most common in social sciences and sciences) cites sources parenthetically in the text. The notes and bibliography system (most common in humanities) cites sources in numbered footnotes or endnotes which correspond to a superscript number in the text. See here for more details, including Chicago formatting for bibliographies.MLA
Modern Language Association (MLA) format or style is most commonly used for footnotes in the language arts, cultural studies, liberal arts, and humanities. MLA uses short parenthetical citations within the text that are linked to an alphabetical list of work cited at the end of the document. MLA commonly cites using this format: author's last name, first name, title, publication, edition or chapter, and year. See here for more details, including MLA formatting for bibliographies.AMA
American Medical Association (AMA) format or style is most commonly used for footnotes in medicine, biomedical research, nursing, dentistry, and other life sciences. AMA uses numerical superscript for citing sources in-text and refers to a list at the end of the work. These references appear in sequential order of when the sources were cited, instead of alphabetical order. See here for more details, including AMA formatting for bibliographies.Derived From: U.S. Bureau of the Census
