This Web page contains significant county changes only. This
includes all county boundary changes affecting at least an
estimated population of 200 plus with additional changes of at
least one square mile where no estimated population was provided
and research indicated that the affected population may have been
200 people or more or "large" annexations of unpopulated
territory (10 square miles of more.)

The regional economic accounts tell us about the geographic
distribution of U.S. economic activity and growth. The estimates
of gross domestic product by state and state and local area

consistent framework for analyzing and comparing individual state

core Census Bureau censuses and surveys while protecting the
