IRS Migration Profiles Updated
The MCDC has added another year (2006/2007) of data to the IRS Migration Profile Reports. The new data from the Internal Revenue Service provides county-to-county migration estimates (using tax returns and exemptions as proxies for households and persons) based on matching tax returns across the two years. So a person filing from Cook County, IL in 2006 who files from Taney County, MO in 2007 is presumed to have moved during the year. Profile reports for eight years are available for this application. The underlying data are also available to Uexplore/Dexter users in the
irsmig data directory.
2008 National Population Projections
The Census Bureau has released nation-level population projections for years through 2050. A Bureau press release provides highlights of the report, which include:
- By 2030, when all the baby boomers will be 65 or older, about 1 in every 5 Americans will be a senior citizen..By 2050 the 65+ cohort is projected to more than double, going from the current estimate of 38.7 million to 88.5 million.
- The nation's population is expected to cross the 400 million mark in 2039.
- The non-Hispanic white-alone ("majority") population is expected to increase only slightly between now and 2050 (by less than 4 million). This would make it a minority group comprising only 46% of the nation's 439 million projected population in 2050 (versus the 66% population share it has in 2008).

2007 County Estimates With Demographic Detail
The Census Bureau has released county level numbers with detail by age, race, sex and hispanic origin.
See the
Census Bureau presss release
related to these estimates.
The MCDC has downloaded these data into our public archive where they can be accessed via
Uexplore/Dexter in the popests data directory (datasets mocasrh07, ilcasrh07, etc - one dataset per state). We have also generated a series of summary reports at the county
and metropolitan/micropolitan area levels for all states. To access the Missouri reports use this link, or go to the Population Estimates Reports by State page to access reports for any state in the nation.
Here is a sample page from one of the Missouri reports:
