Single-race population estimates, national, 2020-2024

Source: R/data-pop_singlerace.R
pop_singlerace.Rd

Annual US resident population by age (5-year bins, 18 groups), sex, single-race group, and Hispanic origin, from the US Census Bureau Population Estimates Program (Vintage 2024, single-race Alldata6). The single-race groups follow the 1997 OMB standard and match the labels produced by categorize_race() for 2022+ deaths (codes 101-106). Use these denominators only with single-race death counts; they are NOT comparable to the bridged-race pop_est.

Details

Only the finest cells are stored (sex male/female, the six single races, Hispanic origin non_hispanic/hispanic); "total" / "both" / "all" are synthesized on demand, never stored, so aggregation never double-counts a marginal.
