Notes: 1Resident population of the 50 states and the District of Columbia estimated for July 1 of each year, except for the April 1 census count in 1950, 1960, 1970, 1980, and 1990. There is a discontinuity in this time series between 1988 and 1989 due to expanded coverage of renewable energy beginning in 1989. Previous-year data may have been revised. Current-year data are preliminary and may be revised in future publications.
