US Census Intercensal Population Estimates

This directory contains US Census intercensal population estimates by state, age and sex for 1970 to 1999.

https://data.nber.org/data/census-intercensal-population/

Variables:
year all years
fips all years state fips code (1-56)
state all years state name (1990+) or 2-letter abbreviation (1970-1989)
state2 all years 2-letter state abbreviation
age 1980+ age
agegr 1970-1979 age category
pop 1970-1979 population
popm 1980+ male population
popf 1980+ female population

Interestingly the agegr variable has two values for 62-64 years of age, "62-64M" and "62-64F", presumably showing the distribution by sex for those ages only.

In the original tables the state is given both as a fips code and a character variable which is sometimes a 2-letter abbreviation and sometimes the full name spelled out. I have created a new variablestate2 which is always a 2 letter abbreviation.

In addition to the three .dta (stata) files forwarded by Steve Pischke, there are .dta and .csv files combining all 30 years into one. Only these combined files have the state2 variable. Translation was done by Stat/Transfer.
