Demographic Surveys

Estimates and Projections

State and County Population Estimates by Age, Sex, Race and Hispanic Origin: July 1, 2005 — Last year, Texas joined three other states and the District of Columbia in having a majority of its population consisting of minorities.

2005 State and County Housing Unit Estimates — Last year, Georgia and Florida dominated the list of 10 counties with the fastest housing gains. Updated estimates of the nation’s housing stock at the national, state and county levels for 2005 will show whether this pattern continues. (Tentatively scheduled for release early-August.)

Economics

Economic Surveys

Nonemployer Statistics: 2004 — Summarizes the number of establishments and sales or receipts of businesses without paid employees that are subject to federal income tax. Most nonemployers possess small unincorporated businesses, which may or may not be the owner’s principal source of income. (Tentatively scheduled for release late-July.)
