U.S. County Net Migration by Age, Race, and Sex, 1990-2000

Net migration estimates for U.S. counties from 1990 to 2000, broken down by five-year age groups, Hispanic origin, race, and sex. These estimates were derived from U.S. census data and vital statistics from the National Center for Health Statistics. Paul R. Voss of the University of Wisconsin–Madison compiled this collection, which includes population totals, expected populations, and migration rates.

Use Cases

• Modeling county-level population change based on net migration estimates and rates.
• Analyzing demographic disparities in migration patterns based on age, race, and sex categories.
• Projecting future population distributions using the included expected 2000 population data.
• Studying the relationship between vital statistics (births/deaths) and migration over a decade.

Strengths

• Data covers a full decade (1990-2000) for all U.S. counties.
• Includes multiple demographic dimensions: five-year age groups, Hispanic origin, race, and sex.
• Estimates derived from two authoritative sources: U.S. Census data and NCHS vital statistics.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
