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

August 2023 .. did you know? that the largest U.S. county based on population is Los Angeles County, CA (9.7 million) .. that there are 47 counties with more than 1 million population? .. that since 2020, and among the million+ counties, Collin County, TX (Dallas metro) experienced the highest population growth rate (7.7%)? What about your counties of interest? Find out. Use the interactive table below to view, rank, sort, compare county, and county by state/metro, population and components of change since 2020.

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.

- 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.

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))

2010 to 2020 Intercensal Estimates .. goto top
New annual 2010 to 2020 county intercensal population and components of change estimates are first available in the fall 2023 ProximityOne demographic estimates and projections program. The result is a consistent time series from the 2010 Census to the 2020 Census.

The Census Bureau 2010 to 2020 Intercensal Estimates will become the official estimates for the 2010-2020 decade and are currently scheduled to become available in Fall 2024 (a year later). Those data are produced by modifying the Census Bureau Vintage 2020 estimates to account for differences between these estimates and the results of the 2020 Census. For more information on the Intercensal Estimates, please see the 2000-2010 Methodology Statement. The fall 2024 ProximityOne population estimates and projection updates will utilize these official estimates.
