Methodology for the United States Resident Population Estimates by Age, Sex, Race, and Hispanic Origin (Vintage 2008): April 1, 2000 to July 1, 2008

摘要

The U.S. Census Bureau produces monthly estimates of resident population for the United States on an annual basis. We revise the estimates time series each year as final input data become available. These postcensal estimates from April 1, 2000 through July 1, 2008 supersede all previous estimates produced since Census 2000. For each month in the time series, the total national resident population is obtained by summing the estimates across all age, sex, race, and Hispanic origin categories. The following documentation describes the process by which we produce the April 1, 2000 through July 1, 2008 resident population estimates at the national level.
