          Census Bureau Releases Last Population Estimates 
                          Before Census Day


 The Commerce Department's Census Bureau today released 1990 to 1999
estimates of total population for all 3,141 counties and population
by age and sex estimates for all 50 states and the District
of Columbia.

 "These are the last population estimates that the Census Bureau will
release before Census Day, April 1, of this year," said Census Bureau
Director Kenneth Prewitt. "Census 2000 data will be released at the end of
2000, and will be the most up-to-date and accurate numbers available. We
urge every resident in America to help us make Census 2000 a success so we
will know how numerous we are and where we live."

 These current population estimates were derived using the 1990 census as
their base. The Census Bureau will revise its estimates series of numbers
to reflect results from Census 2000.
