Download US Population Data - 1969-2011

Note: All of the populations change annually going back to the last decennial census. Population Estimates Used in NCI's SEER*Stat Software.

Files containing US population data are provided for analysis using your own statistical software or using SEER*Stat (you must use the SEER*Prep software to create a database for use in SEER*Stat).

Populations are available for the following time periods and "races":

  • 1969-2011 County-level: White, Black, Other;
  • 1990-2011 County-level: Expanded Races (White, Black, American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian/Pacific Islander) by Origin (Hispanic, Non-Hispanic);
  • 1981-2011 State-level: Expanded Races (White, Black, American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian/Pacific Islander). See State-Level Race and Hispanic Origin Population Estimates for the methodology.
  • 1981-2011 State-level: White and Non-White by Hispanic Origin

County- and state-level population files with 19 age groups (<1, 1-4, ..., 80-84, 85+) and with 86 single-year age groups (<1, 1, 2, ..., 84, 85+) are provided below.

For the All States Combined and four states (Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas), two sets of population estimates are available for 2005: the standard set based on July 1 populations and a set that has been adjusted for the population shifts due to hurricanes Katrina (August 29) and Rita (September 24). For more information, see Adjusted Populations for the Counties/Parishes Affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

Data Files

The data are stored in text files and provided here as Windows self-extracting ZIP files (executables) and gzip files. File format information is provided in the Population Data Dictionary. The files are grouped by the following categories:
