County Demographic-Economic Characteristics & Patterns
  .. resources to create and apply insights

April 2024 .. did you know? that the largest U.S. county based on population is Los Angeles County, CA (9.7 million) .. that there are 48 counties with more than 1 million population?

Approximately 60% (1,876) of U.S. counties gained population from 2022 to 2023, an increase from the 52% of counties (1,649) that experienced population growth between 2021 and 2022. Among the nation's 3,144 counties, the average change from 2022 to 2023 was 0.29%, up from 0.17% the previous year.

What about your counties of interest? Find out. Use the interactive table below to view, rank, sort, compare county, and county by state, population and components of change since 2020.

Hos & Why County Population is Changing .. 2020-2023


For many counties the pandemic has impacted each component of population change: births, deaths and migration. The pandemic among other factors including climate change impact different counties in different ways. Learn more. Find out more about county demographic change projected to 2030 and 2060. See more below about annual 2010 to 2020 county intercensal estimates of population and components of change.

County/Regional Mapping & GeoStatistical Analysis using VDA Web GIS
The CountyTrends GIS project can be used with the VDA Web GIS for county/regional mapping and geospatial analysis. For example, a query (stab='TX' and popest22>1000000) is used to show all Texas counties with 2022 population 1,000,000 or more in a table sorted on 2022 population in descending order (popest22 desc). Then, the show-selected button is clicked to show selected counties in map winodw -- as shown in graohic at right. Click graphic for larger view. Step-by-step how-to instructions below.

Examining County GeoStatistical Characteristics & Patterns
Counties, and county equivalent areas such as independent cities, are the primary political subdivision of states. The relative stable geography of counties, with good national scope geographic granularity, makes these areas appealing for use in tabulating data and analyzing demographic-economic data. This section provides information on tools and data related to accessing, integrating analyzing county demographic-economic patterns and trends. .. updates ,, interactive table

Patterns of Percent Net Migration by County: 2021-2022
The following graphic shows patterns of percent net migration by county for the two-year period 7/1/20 to 6/30/22. See details below about how these data were computed. The largest ten metros (MSAs) are highlighted with bold black boundaries.

Join us in the weekly data analytics web sessions where CountyTrends topics are always included.

Population & Components of Change
Total population for an area can be computed as a sum of components of change:
Population (7/1/22) = Population (7/1/21)
  + Births (6/30/21 to 7/1/22)
  - Deaths (6/30/21 to 7/1/22)
  + Net International Migration (6/30/21 to 7/1/22)
  + Net Domestic Migration (6/30/21 to 7/1/22)

How & Why Counties are Changing .. goto top
The following graphic shows how a county is changing (layers for gaining or losing population) and why a county is changing (interval for mainly net migration and interval for mainly natural change) for the period 4/1/20 - 6/30/22. The largest ten metros (MSAs) are highlighted with bold black boundaries.

- click graphic for larger view and details.
- the above view, and interactive variants, may be viewed using the CountyTrends GIS project with the VDA Web GIS.

For example, the computation to determine "gaining, mainly natural change" (green) is:
(popest22-popest20)>0 and (netmig20+netmig21+netmig22)<=(natchg20+natchg21+natchg22)
.. the determination for Harris County, TX is:
(4780913-4734505)>0 and (-5261 + -26615 + 17262 )<=( 7446 + 26061 + 30117) or
(46408)>0 and ((-14614)< (63624))

Cty %PopChg 2021-2030
County projections are contained in the layer “Cty %PopChg 2021-2030” and corresponding shapefile. There are projections for six years for each county (U.S. 3,144 counties). The term population projection as used here refers to population data developed for periods/years into the future. We cannot of course know these data values and make assumptions and use methods to develop the projections. As a result many projections can be developed and their values depend on the assumptions and methodology. Any particular set of projections may be incorrect.

For these projections, a generic model has been used/applied to all counties. The projections are developed using each component of annual change for births, deaths and migration, then using the population identity
    P[t] = P[t-1] + B[t-1,t] -D[t-1,t] + M[t-1,t] .. P: population, B:Births, D:Deaths. M:net migration
to determine the annual (t) population projection.

Assumptions include that the “behavior” of each item B. D, M continue to follow recent observed historical trends throughout the projection period that there are no exceptional factors that occur (recession, pandemic, environmental event, etc.) during the projection period.
