Annual Population Estimates by State, Age, Sex and Race
The Census Bureau's official estimate of how many people of each age, sex, race and Hispanic origin lived in every state, the District of Columbia and the United States as a whole on July 1 of every year since 1970. Use it to set a state's age profile or racial and ethnic make-up beside its neighbours' or the nation's, to rank the states by their share of older residents or children, or to see how quickly each has aged over half a century. The earlier decades distinguish fewer races, and the 1970s and 1980s do not record Hispanic origin.
