Population Estimates for Missouri and Across the U.S.

Updates

MCDC's population estimates data and applications are updated every year, usually in June or July, for the previous year. We process estimates for places, places-within-county, and MCDs and use these data to create the curmoests.xlsx (current Missouri estimates) file. This Excel file is our definitive Missouri population estimates document (see below).

Refer to the official Census Bureau Schedule of New Estimates page to see what and when to expect the rest of this year and next.

Data Applications

Population Estimates by Age provides population data at the state and county level for multiple predefined (five-year) age cohorts, data years, and sex / race / ethnicity groups. This application includes Excel data export.

State/County Annual Population Change shows annual population change from 2000 to the most current year, by state and county, including components of change (natural increase and net migration). This application includes bar charts.

Population Trends with Demographics show total and annualized population changes, by nation / state / county, for any desired date range from 1990 to current, including race and age categories. This application includes charts and Excel or PDF data export, and uses the detailed annual estimates from NCHS.

Our Best Estimates

Population estimates are produced as part of the Federal State Cooperative Program for Population Estimates (FSCPE) Program and released by the U.S. Census Bureau. State demographer Matt Hesser, Matt.Hesser@oa.mo.gov, of the Missouri Office of Administration, produces population estimates for Missouri in conjunction with the Census Bureau.
