The new 2020 population numbers are out and I am seeing different numbers/percentages from news articles than what I have from https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/popest/datasets/2010-2020/metro/totals/ . To be on the safe side do I compare CENSUS2010POP to POPESTIMATE042020 or POPESTIMATE2020 to get the correct percentage growth?
Thanks in advance.

FYI: Esri's Living Atlas Policy Maps team (aka my team, full disclosure!) also released layers for block, block group, tract, county, and state earlier today. Here's our announcement blog: https…

So many people have been asking me about it that I've made a 2020 block population file for the whole USA. In the interests of keeping the file sizes reasonable, these include population and HU totals only (not race / ethnicity), and only blocks (sumlevel 750).

Jonathan, I just downloaded the county data. Thanks for putting this together - time saver for me. Does IPUMS also have the data for CBSA (MSA) level?
Thank you Diana! Love Esri's maps!

Yes, CBSA is one of the 97 summary levels in the redistricting data, and we have all of those on IPUMS NHGIS. If you have questions about how to find what you're looking for, feel free to email us at nhgis@umn.edu or post a question on the IPUMS Forum.
