Estimates by population characteristics released today show us why.
Estimated reading time: 11 minutes The start of each decade at the U.S. Census Bureau is marked by the collection and release of census data, providing a fresh account of the size and characteristics of the U.S. population. These updated population numbers enable researchers, community planners and others to use the most current data in their work. We at the Census Bureau’s Population Estimates Program (PEP) count ourselves among these data users.
