County Demographic-Economic Characteristics & Patterns
  .. resources to create and apply insights

June 2026 .. This section provides an interactive iVDA map and table showing state and county population and components of change from 2020 to 2025 intended for introductory and more advanced users. Marketing to the right demographic might be improved by using up-to-date measures for county population by age. These data show that population growth slowed in a majority of the nation's 3,143 counties and D.C. between July 1, 2024, and July 1, 2025, based on the latest vintage 2025 estimates released by the Census Bureau in March 2026. See related pages below.

Among the 2,066 counties that grew between 2023 and 2024, nearly 8 in 10 saw their growth slow or reverse direction in 2025. In many cases, counties already in decline saw losses accelerate.

These shifts were largely due to lower levels of net international migration (NIM), which declined nationwide. Nine out of 10 U.S. counties experienced lower NIM levels between July 1, 2024, and June 30, 2025, compared to the year prior. The one in 10 counties that did not see a drop in international migration did not see an increase either.

Some of the country's most populous counties experienced the greatest impacts from lower NIM. These counties typically had more births than deaths (natural increase) as well as negative net domestic migration - more people moving out than moving in from other areas of the country. Coupled with reduced NIM, the result was slower growth or, in some cases, population decline.

Population & Components of Change
Total population for an area can be computed as a sum of components of change:
Population (7/1/25) = Population (7/1/24)
  + Births (6/30/23 to 7/1/24)
  - Deaths (6/30/23 to 7/1/24)
  + Net International Migration (6/30/23 to 7/1/24)
  + Net Domestic Migration (6/30/23 to 7/1/24)

County/Regional Mapping & GeoStatistical Analysis using VDA Web GIS .. goto top
From above ... The CountyTrends GIS project can be used with the VDA Web GIS for county/regional mapping and geospatial analysis.

In this example, a query (stab='TX' and popest22>1000000) is used to show all Texas counties with 2022 Natural Change 1,000,000 or more in a table sorted on 2022 Natural Change in descending order (popest22 desc). Then, click show selected to get the result shown below.


The steps to perform this application are as follows.

Cty %PopChg 2021-2030
County projections are contained in the layer "Cty %PopChg 2021-2030" and corresponding shapefile. There are projections for six years for each county (U.S. 3,144 counties). The term Natural Change projection as used here refers to Natural Change data developed for periods/years into the future. We cannot of course know these data values and make assumptions and use methods to develop the projections. As a result many projections can be developed and their values depend on the assumptions and methodology. Any particular set of projections may be incorrect.

For these projections, a generic model has been used/applied to all counties. The projections are developed using each component of annual change for births, deaths and migration, then using the Natural Change identity
    P[t] = P[t-1] + B[t-1,t] -D[t-1,t] + M[t-1,t] .. P: Natural Change, B:Births, D:Deaths. M:net migration
to determine the annual (t) Natural Change projection.

Assumptions include that the “behavior” of each item B. D, M continue to follow recent observed historical trends throughout the projection period that there are no exceptional factors that occur (recession, pandemic, environmental event, etc.) during the projection period.
