Census U.S. Intercensal County Population Data, 1970-2014
The Census Bureau's Population Estimates Program publishes population estimates each year.
The 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s files were modified to make a single .csv file of county and state intercensal population data that is easier use.
Spreadsheets and statistical software can read the comma-separated CSV file.
The Stata .dta file can be converted to other formats using conversion software such as Stat/Transfer.
To download files in Internet Explorer, right click on them and select Save Target As....
