New Blog: Annual Updates to the Data and Methodology Used to Produce Population Estimates [ [link removed] ]

Each year, the population of the United States grows and evolves. Births, deaths and migration are the three components of population change. A myriad of factors can affect the magnitude and speed of the changes.
