NOTES: Resident population estimates are as of July 1 except 1980, 1990, and 2000, which are as of April
1. New metropolitan area definitions were published by the Office of Budget and
Management (OMB) in 2003. These definitions were applied to population data
by the Census Bureau beginning with the data from the 2000 Census. A new
term, core based statistical areas (CBSAs), collectively refers to
metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas. A metropolitan statistical
area is defined as having at least one urbanized area of 50,000 or more
inhabitants. A micropolitan statistical area is defined as having at least
one urban cluster of more than 10,000 but less than 50,000 inhabitants.
Number of immigrants is based on fiscal year data ending September 30.
Median household income and average household
expenditures were converted to constant
2004 dollars using the CPI-U-RS price index.
