The U.S. Census Bureau today released the first set of 2010-2020 Intercensal Estimates. Intercensal estimates are produced once every 10 years after the decennial census. They revise the prior decade's estimates to align with the most current census.
Population estimates are available for the nation, states, metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas, counties, incorporated places and minor civil divisions, and Puerto Rico and its municipios. In addition, housing unit estimates are available for the nation, states and counties.
Intercensal estimates feature the estimates base (April 1, 2010), annual estimates (July 1, 2010-2019) and Census Day (April 1, 2020) counts.

Methodology, Limitations and Applications of the 2010-2020 Intercensal Population and Housing Unit Estimates
Written By: Sandra Johnson and David Armstrong
The U.S. Census Bureau today released the first of its 2010-2020 intercensal population and housing unit estimates products. These estimates, which are produced once a decade, adjust the Vintage 2020 postcensal population and housing unit estimates to make them consistent with the April 1, 2020, counts from the 2020 Decennial Census.
The 2010-2020 intercensal estimates are the recommended data source for population estimates in these years and should be used in lieu of the Vintage 2020 estimates whenever possible. One of the main benefits of the intercensal estimates is that several decades of data, including the latest vintage of postcensal estimates, can be linked together into one consistent time series.
