Population and Housing Unit Estimates
The Census Bureau -in conjunction with the Federal-State Cooperative Program for Population Estimates- produces annual estimates of the total resident population for the nation, states, and counties. Estimates of city populations are produced every two years. Population estimates are derived from mathematical models using symptomatic indicators of population change from year to year. In contrast to population projections based on assumptions of future growth, estimates are historical reflecting recent measurable trends. The estimates reported here were derived from a model using administrative records- recorded births and deaths, Internal Revenue Service tax returns, and Social Security Administration records. As new estimates are produced, previously released estimates are often revised. The decennial census counts also provide a benchmark by which intercensal estimates are revised. For a schedule of releases, please refer to the Census Bureau's Estimates Release Schedule. The Housing Unit Estimates appear at the bottom of this page. If you have any questions about Kentucky population estimates or the Census Bureau's program, contact Tom Sawyer at the Urban Studies Institute at 502-852-8913 or at tsawyer@louisville.edu.
