Census population estimates 2011-2019

[JerryArkansas]

New state population estimates will be released in ca. 1 month !

My prediction:

316.159.818

315,712,013

NC+1, MN-1 remains only apportionment change, until 2014 when Texas gains from Michigan.

Minnesota has already lost a US House Seat in this decade?  I thought Minnesota might stave off a lost US House Seat in this decade since it ranks 16th in population growth so far in 2011-2012. I know before the 2010 Census came out people thought Minnesota was gonna lose a House Seat to Colorado but it didn't happen. Now it looks likes it has happened. Maybe Colorado could have gained a seat from Missouri and Minnesota would have kept 8 House Seats would have been the scenario that I thought could have played out. Missouri's population growth has been miserable in 2011-2012.

I don't see MO losing a district until at least 2040.  MN has already lost it's district to NC, we will see if it can gain it back.

I've made my maps using the 2016 Estimates Data.  Please let me know if there are any obvious errors. There may be a separate post analyzing trends in the future:

2015-2016 Percentage Change in  Cities, Towns, and County Remainders Population
2010-2016 Percentage Change versus 2010 Census
2010-2016 Percentage Change versus 2010 Estimates Base (takes into account annexations and the like)

2015-2016 Numerical Change in  Cities, Towns, and County Remainders Population
2010-2016 Numerical Change versus 2010 Census
2010-2016 Numerical Change versus 2010 Estimates Base

Cinyc, in Arkansas, what are you going to do with College City located in Lawrence County.  It consolidated with Walnut Ridge in May of last year.  It was in the final phases of occurring when the data was estimated.

Could you possibly combine the two on one of your maps to show that this occurred?

I could estimate things manually when I get a chance, but if Census hasn't caught up with the change yet, I'm not going to change the shapefile.  I used the most recent Census shapefile for each type (County, MCD and Place).

It occurred over a year ago, so it may not be in the shapefile for 2016.  It defently should be in the 2017 version though if they ever release it.
