About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the Virginia population distribution across 18 age groups. It lists the population in each age group along with the percentage population relative of the total population for Virginia. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population distribution of Virginia by age. For example, using this dataset, we can identify the largest age group in Virginia.

Key observations

The largest age group in Virginia was for the group of age 30 to 34 years years with a population of 596,257 (6.89%), according to the ACS 2019-2023 5-Year Estimates. At the same time, the smallest age group in Virginia was the 85 years and over years with a population of 148,515 (1.72%).

Statewide VA data on the demographic and economic characteristics of the labor force are published on an annual-average basis from the Current Population Survey (CPS), the sample survey of households used to calculate the U.S. unemployment rate. For VA state ,employment status data are tabulated for 67 sex, race, Hispanic or Latino ethnicity, marital status, and detailed age categories and evaluated against a minimum base, calculated to reflect an expected maximum coefficient of variation (CV) of 50 percent, to determine reliability for publication

About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the Virginia population over the last 20 plus years. It lists the population for each year, along with the year on year change in population, as well as the change in percentage terms for each year. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population change of Virginia across the last two decades. For example, using this dataset, we can identify if the population is declining or increasing. If there is a change, when the population peaked, or if it is still growing and has not reached its peak. We can also compare the trend with the overall trend of United States population over the same period of time.

Key observations

In 2024, the population of Virginia was 8.81 million, a 0.88% increase year-by-year from 2023. Previously, in 2023, Virginia population was 8.73 million, an increase of 0.59% compared to a population of 8.68 million in 2022. Over the last 20 plus years, between 2000 and 2024, population of Virginia increased by 1.71 million. In this period, the peak population was 8.81 million in the year 2024. The numbers suggest that the population has not reached its peak yet and is showing a trend of further growth. Source: U.S. Census Bureau Population Estimates Program (PEP).

Data are based on a sample and are subject to sampling variability. The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability is represented through the use of a margin of error. The value shown here is the 90 percent margin of error. The margin of error can be interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see ACS Technical Documentation https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/technical-documentation.html). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.
