About
The Census Bureau's Vintage 2025 annual population estimates for each county and county equivalent, with a total row for each state: a row per area, measure and year. POPESTIMATE is the resident population on July 1. The components are BIRTHS, DEATHS, NATURALCHG (or NATURALINC in the 2010s), INTERNATIONALMIG, DOMESTICMIG, NETMIG and RESIDUAL, each for the year to July 1, with the R measures as rates per 1,000 people. ESTIMATESBASE is the April 1 base after the census. Each vintage revises every earlier year, so compare years within one vintage.
