Instructions for obtaining estimates for U.S. population 2012 to 2016
- Go to this page: www.census.gov (Links to an external site.)
- Click on “surveys/programs” featured horizontally on top, then select “All surveys & Programs”
- Scroll down, select page 5, there you will find “Population and Housing Unit Estimates”
- Move the cursor over “Data” on the left column, select “Tables” and then “National Population Totals”
- Select the tab for 2017, if not already selected
- Select “Annual Estimates of the Resident Population for the United States, Regions, States, and Puerto Rico: April 1, 2010 to July 1, 2017 (NST-EST2017-01)”. You can click on “excel”, and you will get the table in excel format. Or you can click on “View this table in American FactFinder” to see a table in html.
Note: When constructing the graphs and charts, follow the guidelines provided in the lecture with respect to format, title, source, and other standard elements of the charts and graphs. The counts and rates will appear in the Florida Health Charts. You may use these. But, it would be excellent practice to calculate at least a few by hand, and check with the Florida Health Charts. In calculating the incidence rates, you can use the denominator population provided in Florida Health Charts.
*If there are no data available for the years 2012—2016, then select the most recent years for which data are available, throughout the assignment.
