Annual US resident population by age (5-year bins, 18 groups), sex,
bridged-race group, and Hispanic origin, from the SEER U.S. Population Data
(Vintage 2024). This is the SEER-uniform bridged series: use it with
bridged-race death counts (categorize_race() for deaths coded 2020 and
earlier). It is NOT comparable to the single-race pop_singlerace or to
the legacy single-race-alone pop_est.

Details
The series is era-ragged, reflecting what SEER resolves: 1969-1989 carries
race white/black/other with hispanic_origin =
"all" only (no Hispanic detail before 1990); 1990-2024 carries
white/black/american_indian/api with
hispanic_origin non_hispanic/hispanic. Asian and Pacific
Islander are combined as api (SEER has no finer Asian detail). Only the
finest cells are stored; "total"/"both"/"all" are
synthesized on demand, never stored, so aggregation never double-counts a
marginal.
State- and county-level bridged denominators are distributed separately (too
large to bundle) and fetched via download_pop_data(scheme = "bridged")
/ get_pop_county(scheme = "bridged").
