Hi,
I would like to show the year-over-year change in population and net migration in a line graph/chart. My question is when it comes to the 2010 and 2020 total population do I use the estimate population or decennial population numbers? My guess, is I use the estimate numbers if I want to compare apples-to-apples based on the April or July estimates rather than using the decennial population numbers. I have three different population numbers for the state of Florida for 2020 (21,538,187 (April). 21,569,932 (July), and 21,733,312 (POPESTIMATE). I am confused on which number is the correct number to use.
I want to do a similar chart below for the state of Florida only for 2010 through 2021. Can anyone help shed some light on what is the best way to do this?
Thanks for any help you can provide me.
Robin
Hi Robin, I'm not familiar with these data sets, but in case it's helpful, IRS has some great tables that I use to analyze net out migration. I use both the historical tables and gross migration files
