New Detailed Population Estimates Released for Pennsylvania Counties

The U.S. Census Bureau has released the 2022 Detailed National, State, and County Population Estimates, the final set of detailed population estimates for this vintage. The data as of July 1, 2022, provides estimates at the national, state, and county levels for population by age, sex, race, and Hispanic origin.

Highlights from this release include:

  • The population cohorts aged 75 to 79 and 70 to 74 were the fastest-growing, with those aged 75 to 79 far exceeding other growing cohorts.
  • For every 10 non-Hispanic White individuals lost in Pennsylvania from 2020 to 2022, the state roughly gained 8 persons of color.
  • The most substantial growth occurred in the Hispanic or Latino, multiracial*, and Asian* populations.
