Historic Intercensal Estimates for Kentucky, Area Development Districts and Counties
Vintage 2022
Released in August 2022, the Vintage 2022 Projections of Population and Households forecast population change through 2050 in five-year intervals for Kentucky, Kentucky counties and Area Development Districts.
Population projections forecast future population using models that integrate recent historical data and standard demographic processes. The cohort component model used for these projections captures the impact of births, deaths and net migration to forecast population changes.
These projections used a bottom-up approach where county projections were generated first, then aggregated for Area Development Districts and the state. The 2020 Decennial Census and 2021 Population Estimates provided base population data.
