2009 Estimates of City Populations (Released June 22, 2010) The U.S. Census Bureau has released July 1, 2009, population estimates for each of the nation's incorporated places, including cities, boroughs and villages and minor civil divisions, such as towns and townships. The new estimates are not 2010 Census population counts. They are, however, the last estimates to use 2000 Census results as a base. The city estimates are based on 2000 Census data updated to reflect legal boundary changes, housing unit estimates updated to reflect inputs such as building permits, and county population estimates. The county population estimates are produced by using administrative records — namely births, deaths, and domestic and international migration. The resulting county population estimates are then distributed to the areas within each county by using the updated housing unit estimates.
The Kentucky State Data Center has made the following Excel workbooks available for download: Annual Population Estimates for Kentucky Cities from 2000 to 2009 Percent Change in City Population Estimates, 2000-2009
The entire estimate series is available from the Census Bureau here. Additional housing unit and population estimate tables are availble on the KSDC Estimates Page.
2009 Estimates of Total Housing Units by State and County (Released June 16, 2010) The latest estimates of total housing units by state and county - for July 1, 2009 - were released June 16, 2010. You can access the data here. Three Kentucky counties were in the top one hundred nationally for rate of increase in housing units from 2000 to 2009 among counties with at least 5,000 housing units. Spencer County ranked 35th with an increase of 47.2%. Boone County ranked 90th (36.5%) and Scott County ranked 97th (35.7%). No Kentucky counties ranked in the top one hundred for single-year increase from 2008 to 2009.
2009 Population Estimates Released for Counties and MSAs The United States Census Bureau has released 2009 County and MSA population estimates. The new estimates reveal that Spencer County has outpaced all other Kentucky counties with a population growth of 50.7% since 2000. Kentucky added 271,825 people in that period for a 6.7% gain. Only 28 counties added population faster than the state percentage increase, and 37 counties lost population in this period. Kentucky's westernmost counties fared among the worst for population decline. Of the four counties that border the Mississippi River, Fulton (-12.1%) and Hickman (-7.8%) had the greatest percentage declines, ranking last and next-to-last among all 120 counties, and Carlisle (-2.7%) and Ballard (-1.5%) also seeing population declines. You can see the County Population Estimates ranked by change in the KSDC blog or you can view an alphabetical listing with population estimates for every year from 2000 to 2009 here on the KSDC web site.
