Population Estimates for Missouri and the U.S.
|
|
| NOTE: New estimates from the Census Bureau for 7-1-2009 at the state and nation level were released in late December.
See our home page for a short summary and related links.
The next scheduled estimates release is the 2009 estimates with components of change for U.S. states and counties. These are scheduled to be released in March. (Last year the release date was March 16.)

- Access the curmoests.xls
Excel spreadsheet with the latest available population estimates for Missouri counties and places
(incorporated cities). Last updated 7/2009 with state, county & city level estimates thru July 1, 2008 .
- Run the MCDC's Population Estimates by Age
web application to dynamically generate estimates by age, race, sex and hispanic origin for U.S. states and counties, for years 1990 to 2008.
- Access various reports based on data in the popests data directory at
http://mcdc.missouri.edu/pub/data/popests/Reports. This page provides links to both the reports and to the underlying datasets used to generate them.
Also see Maps -- a Powerpoint presentation consisting of choropleth and dot-density maps
showing population change for Missouri counties, 2000-2006.
- Estimates for Missouri, its counties and CBSA's thru July, 2008 are available with detail by age, race, sex and Hispanic origin. See comparable MCDC reports for
any state in U.S.
 A dynamic web application, poptrends allows you to customize a trends report at the state or county level for various time periods going back to 1990. You get to choose your geography, your time periods, and your specific demographic categories (based on age, race and ethnicity). Uses the detailed estimates from NCHS so the latest available data are for 2008 (as of September, 2009).
- Generate a brief report with bar chart showing annual population change for any US county from 2000 to
2008 (or most recently available year) using the MCDC's poptrend1
dynamic web application. (Clicking here will take you to a main menu for invoking the app.)
- You can access state and county level population estimates with components of change, 2000-2008, for the entire U.S. in our data
archive using the uexplore/dexter software. The datasets are in the popests data directory, most easily
accessed via the Datasets.html directory page. The four relevant datasets are mocom07, uscom08, mocomrgrns08 and uscomcbsas08. The first two consist of state and county level summaries, while the latter two are the result of our aggregating the data to get metro area and other county-based region summaries.
- For information regarding projections (estimating the future) of the population for Missouri and the U.S. see our population projections web page. National and State Level Projections are available from the Census Bureau.
- An alternative set of state and county level estimates by age (single years), race, sex and hispanic origin that
use an alternate set of 4 ("bridged") race categories (for comparability with pre-2000 race categories before the advent of multi-race groups) were commissioned by the National Center for Health Statistics. The MCDC has downloaded and converted these estimates, which include both intercensal estimates for the decade of the 90's as well as post-2000 estimates (paralleling the CASRH collection). Find out
more about this collection at the NCHS Bridged Estimates Readme page. (From there you can follow the link at the bottom of the page to access the actual data.)
- Uexplore/Dexter users can access city-level estimates for Missouri (thru 2007) in the mosc07 dataset or data for the entire US (including Mo) are available in the ussc07 dataset. (Note: Dataset names here are links to invoke Dexter for accessing those datasets.)
- (This isn't exactly population estimates but we thought you'd want to know):
Income (median household) and poverty estimates are produced by the Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates program at the Census Bureau. These intercensal estimates are available for states, counties and school districts. They can be easily accessed at the SAIPE web site. The Missouri Census Data Center has downloaded these estimates and created value-added datasets within the MCDC data
archive. These can be accessed via our Uexplore/Dexter software in the
saipe filetype directory.
- Population Trends Report, 1960-1995
Somewhat dated (the trend data stops at 1995) but still useful report collection with over 3000 county level reports. (If you would be interested in an updated version of this collection let us know by sending e-mail).
- See the Census Bureau's Population Estimates page for more reports and for access to downloadable data files. This is the ultimate and authoritative source for almost all population estimates in the United States. Nearly all of the data that appears on the MCDC site is (or could be) based on data downloaded from this site.

Think you've got a handle on what the MCDC has in its data archive related to population estimates?
Want to find out? Take the MCDC Population Estimates Trivia Challenge. You will need to know (or be willing to learn) how to use Uexplore and Dexter. If you would be interested in attending a training session related to these kinds of data queries use the Questions/Comments feedback button at the very bottom of this page to let us know. If we get 15 people expressing interest we'll probably have such a session.

Population estimates are produced as part of the Federal State Cooperative Program for Population Estimates (FSCPE)
Program and released by the U.S. Census Bureau. The person who produces population estimates in conjunction with
the Census Bureau for Missouri, and who serves as Missouri's designee in the FSCPE Program resides in the Missouri Office of Administration.
