Methodology & sources

How this dataset is built.

Primary source
U.S. Census Bureau, Population Estimates Program — Vintage 2024 Subcounty Population Estimates (released May 2025), reference date July 1, 2024.
Geography
Incorporated places (active legal cities, towns, villages, boroughs) plus 8 consolidated cities (Indianapolis, Nashville, Louisville, Athens-Clarke, Augusta-Richmond, Milford CT, Greeley County KS, Butte-Silver Bow MT) and 4 special cases (Washington DC, Urban Honolulu, Houma LA, Tribune KS). Excludes most CDPs and minor civil divisions.
Geographic enrichment
2025 U.S. Census Bureau Gazetteer (cutoff January 1, 2025) for land area and density.
Growth fields
Within-vintage only. The 2010–2019 (V2019) and 2020–2024 (V2024) series are independent estimates; we do not compute a single 2010–2024 growth number.
