July 1, 2002 County Population Estimates

• Issued by Population Estimates Branch, Population
  Division, U.S. Census Bureau
• Tentative release date is Thursday, April 17
• If your countys population has declined from
  last years estimate, it doesnt necessarily mean
  that your county is losing population. The
  Census Bureau revises the prior year estimate
  (July 1, 2001, in this instance). In some cases
  where the 2001 estimate was revised downward, the
  2002 estimate may be lower than the original 2001
  estimate. If the 2002 estimate is greater than
  the revised 2001 estimate, the county is still
  gaining population.
