Population Trends for the Region as of July 2003!

[urbanguy]

Hello, here's what I have so far....I will add some updates soon!

State/Terr July 2003 July 2002 July 2001 July 2000 Pop. Change July 2000 -> July 2003

Alaska: 648,818... 641,482... 632,674... 627,576... (21,242)

Hawaii: 1,257,608... 1,240,663... 1,225,038... 1,212,343... (45,265)

Puerto Rico: 3,878,532... 3,859,523... 3,839,119... 3,815,909... (62,623)

Note: *The US Census estimates posted for Hawaii the past few years have been lower than what it supposed to be if you do the birth-death, domestic + international migration numbers the state numbers would be higher but they've been adjusted so that when all the states are added up they equal the US's total estimated population which is a set number or some crazy crap like that well thats what was emailed to me when i questioned them as to why the total pop estimates for the state are lower than what ive found by doing the math.

The correct estimates for Hawaii look like this:

Hawaii: 1,262,013... 1,244,920... 1,226,768... 1,212,343... (49,670)

births/deaths/migration: 17,093... 18,152... 14,425... n/a

Other estimates for 2003 these according to the CIA Worldfact book:

American Samoa: 70,260

Guam: 163,941

Marshall Islands: 56,429

Micronesia, Federated States of: 108,143

Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI): 80,006

U.S. Virgin Islands: 124,778

County numbers will be released this week or so and I will post them as it will also reflect the metro numbers for Honolulu and Anchorage.

That's a lot of people to add in only 3 years! If only we had that kind of growth here. Unfortunately we are not growing much at all. (See this link).

^Yeah i seen some of the numbers at the census site but they could be wrong as they are just estimates based on the 2000 census who knows by 2010 when the real count is done it might see higher numbers?

[urbanguy]

Ooh i have to make a correction Anchorages MSA is now 339,286

Anchorage: 270,951

Matanuska-Susitna Borough: 68,335 *added to Anchorages MSA!!!!!

XLainte.. i always assumed for the past few months that Anchorage's pop has struck 270k.. what im dissapointed in though is that Fairbanks is up to 85k (i thought it was 30k)

I DESPISE OF THEM

B)

[urbanguy]

^But where is the extra county added to Anchorages metro at and how big of an area is it?

I wouldnt worry about Fairbanks id say about half of the 85,000 are probably scattered over thousands of square miles which the city/municipality area of Fairbanks is probably the better measurement of the actual urbanized or city like area which is probably the 30,000-40,000 figure.

[mthq]

Alaska doesn't even have countys.. I didn't knew where you got that info

[urbanguy]

^Well boroughs haha whatever but where is it and how big of an area is it?
