What is new in the data
The American Community Survey's 2025 one-year estimates, released on October 29, 2026, are the main new source for income, poverty, education, housing, language and more. They are on every page of this site. The headline population figures come from the Census Bureau's Vintage 2025 estimates for July 1, 2025; the next set, for July 1, 2026, is due in December 2026. The release calendar lists what comes next.
The year in four findings
- Growth slowed as immigration fell. Net international migration dropped from 2,734,468 in the year to June 2024 to 1,262,202 in the year to June 2025.
- 5 states lost population: California, Hawaii, New Mexico, Vermont and West Virginia. South Carolina grew fastest, at 1.46%.
- North Carolina became the top destination for movers between states, gaining 84,064 more residents from the rest of the country than it lost. Read the migration overview.
- Deaths outnumbered births in 171 states, among them Florida and Pennsylvania. See where and why.
How this site works
Every number on this site is drawn from a published federal table, or for religion from the U.S. Religion Census, and carries a footnote with the source, the table and the release date. Survey figures come with their margin of error, and a difference is described as real only when it passes the Census Bureau's significance test. Rankings show ties and the range of ranks a state could hold. The methodology explains the rules, the sources page lists every table, and all the data can be downloaded.
