US, State Population Update for 2020

On December 30, 2020 the US Census Bureau released its US national and state population estimates for July 1, 2020.  On December 30, 2020 usgovernmentspending.com updated its US and state population data as follows:

  • We updated 2010-2020 population data for US and states using data from US Census Bureau Population Estimates: Vintage 2020, State Population Totals, in file nst-est2020.xlsx.
  • We projected 2021 thru 2025 for the states assuming population rate change for 2019-20.
  • We updated 2021 thru 2025 for US only using the percentage projections from US Census Bureau National Population Projections in file np2017-t1.xlsx.
usgovernmentspending.com uses population data in computing per capita spending and revenue data. You can see per capita spending data in a chart here, and in a table of spending here.
