United States
-- demographic-economic characteristics and patterns

The Census 2010 population of the United States was 308,745,538. The profile shown below provides updated demographics and has been developed using the ProximityOne Outlook2020 software and API-based information resource. Outlook2020 can be used to develop this type of profile for any ZIP code area, census tract, city, county or school district. Outlook2020 provides access to ProximityOne estimates and projections to 2020.

The table presented below shows demographic-economic characteristics for the U.S based on the American Community Survey (ACS). ACS provides post-Census 2010 annual updates for a wide array of demographic-economic data not available from Census 2010.

ACS estimates are available for all geographies (U.S. wall-to-wall) using the 5-year estimates. For areas of 65,000 population or more, 1-year estimates are available. See more about ACS. Estimates shown in this profile are based on ACS 1-year estimates. See more about comparing these data over time.
