Notes: The U.S. Census Bureau released these population estimates to the public in June, 1999. The
estimates incorporate revisions of estimates from previous years as well as the results of special
censuses and test censuses conducted by the Census Bureau.
Age - The age of individuals is age at their last birthday.
Median Age - The median age divides the age distribution into two equal parts; half of the cases
fall below the median value and half are above the median value.
Population (Census) - The April 1, 1990 census population is a count of the number of persons
residing in an area (resident population) as reported in the 1990 Census of Population or as
subsequently revised. Revisions to an area's 1990 census population count may occur as the
result of (1) post-1990 census corrections of political boundaries, geographic misallocations,
or documented under enumerations or over enumerations, and (2) geographic boundary updates
made subsequent to the 1990 census, which include annexations, new incorporations, mergers,
etc. The closing date for these two forms of revisions applied to this set
of estimates was December, 1998.
Population (Estimate) - The estimated population is the computed number of persons living in
an area (resident population) as of July 1. The estimated population is calculated from a
demographic components of change model that incorporates information on natural change
(births minus deaths) and net migration (net domestic migration and net movement from abroad)
that has occurred in the area since the reference date, such as April 1, 1990, the date of the 1990
census. Additional information on the methodology used to produce these population
estimates is contained in Current Population Reports P25-1127 and at our Internet site:
<http://www.census.gov/population/www/method.html>.
Resident Population - These population estimates are for the resident population. The resident
population of an area includes all residents (both civilian and Armed Forces populations) living
in the area. The geographic universe for the resident population is the 50 states and the District
of Columbia. It excludes Puerto Rico and outlying areas under United States jurisdiction.
The resident population excludes U.S. citizens residing abroad.
Sex - These statistics provide population estimates for males, females, and the total population.
