Nebraska Population Reports Now Available
A new CPAR publication compiles state, county, and city population estimates as well as the components of population change such as births, deaths, and migration. Historical figures and trends and current sex and age pyramids by race and ethnicity show the dynamics among Nebraska’s population.
These publications are a one-stop shop for a wealth of current and historical information. Since current Census estimates for various geographies are released on varying dates, the most current publication will be updated periodically.
Note the time and date stamp on the cover page of the report. The 2004 report contains all the information released for that year and will not be updated further. Data in the other current report supersedes previous releases of those reports.
