Detailed State and County Population Estimates Release
The U.S. Census Bureau's Population Estimates Division is set to release the 2011 Detailed State and County Population Estimates later this month. The state and county-level detailed population estimates mark the first set of estimates to use the enumerated resident population from the 2010 Census. Data released in the file will show resident population by age, sex, race and Hispanic origin, allowing data users the opportunity to analyze how their communities have changed demographically since April 1, 2010.
The Population Estimates Division will remain active this spring. In June, total population estimates for sub-county areas (municipalities) will be released from the Census Bureau, along with housing unit estimates for the state and counties.

Q: What did the recently-released county population estimates reveal about Pennsylvania’s growth patterns in 2011?
A: Pennsylvania’s population growth patterns have undergone significant changes, according to the 2011 County Population Estimates. Pike and Monroe counties, which had some of the largest population gains between 2000 and 2010 because of high migration rates from neighboring states, have seen their population growth patterns go through a significant change. Between April 1, 2010 and July 1, 2011, Monroe County gained only 40 people, while Pike actually lost 515. These counties have begun to experience a shift in population change because of a reduced number of people moving to the counties from other states.
