About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the Cambridge 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 Cambridge 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 2023, the population of Cambridge was 118,214, a 0.68% increase year-by-year from 2022. Previously, in 2022, Cambridge population was 117,420, an increase of 0.12% compared to a population of 117,275 in 2021. Over the last 20 plus years, between 2000 and 2023, population of Cambridge increased by 16,485. In this period, the peak population was 118,988 in the year 2019. The numbers suggest that the population has already reached its peak and is showing a trend of decline. Source: U.S. Census Bureau Population Estimates Program (PEP).

This open dataset shows data on Cambridge residents who have received a COVID-19 vaccine at any location (e.g., mass vaccination site, pharmacy, doctor's office). These data come from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health's weekly report on vaccine doses administered by municipality. The report is released on Thursdays.
The Moderna and Pfizer vaccines require two doses administered at least 28 days apart in order to be fully vaccinated. The J&J (Janssen) vaccine requires a single dose in order to be fully vaccinated.
The category "Residents Who Received at Least One Dose" reflects the total number of individuals in the fully and partially vaccinated categories. That is, this category comprises individuals who have received one or both doses of the Moderna/Pfizer vaccine or have received the single dose J&J (Janssen) vaccine.
The category "Fully Vaccinated Residents" comprises individuals who have received both doses of the Moderna/ Pfizer vaccine or the single-dose J&J vaccine.
The category "Partially Vaccinated Residents" comprises individuals who have received only the first dose of the Moderna/Pfizer vaccine.
Source: Weekly COVID-19 Municipality Vaccination Report. Massachusetts releases updated data each Thursday at 5 p.m.

This dataset includes Point-in-Time (PIT) data collected in Cambridge between 2012 and 2024. The PIT count is a count of sheltered and unsheltered homeless persons on a single night in January. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires that communities receiving funding through the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program conduct an annual count of homeless persons on a single night in the last 10 days of January, and these data contribute to national estimates of homelessness reported in the Annual Homeless Assessment Report to the U.S. Congress. This dataset is comprised of data submitted to, and stored in, HUD’s Homelessness Data Exchange (HDX).

This dataset includes basic counts and demographic information of persons experiencing homelessness on each PIT date from 2012-2024. The dataset contains four rows for each year, including one row for each housing type: Emergency Shelter, Transitional Housing, or Unsheltered. The dataset also includes housing inventory counts of the number of shelter and transitional housing units available on each of the PIT count dates.

Information about persons staying in emergency shelters and transitional housing units is exported from the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), which is the primary database for recording client-level service records. Information about persons in unsheltered situations is compiled by first conducting an overnight street count of persons observed sleeping outdoors on the PIT night to establish the total number of unsheltered persons. Demographic information for unsheltered persons is then extrapolated by utilizing assessment data collected by street outreach workers during the 7 days following the PIT count.

This table displays the number of COVID-19 deaths among Cambridge residents by race and ethnicity. The count reflects total deaths among Cambridge COVID-19 cases.

The rate column shows the rate of COVID-19 deaths among Cambridge residents by race and ethnicity. The rates in this chart were calculated by dividing the total number of deaths among Cambridge COVID-19 cases for each racial or ethnic category by the total number of Cambridge residents in that racial or ethnic category, and multiplying by 10,000. The rates are considered “crude rates” because they are not age-adjusted. Population data are from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2014–2018 American Community Survey estimates and may differ from actual population counts.

Of note:

This chart reflects the time period of March 25 (first known Cambridge death) through present.

It is important to note that race and ethnicity data are collected and reported by multiple entities and may or may not reflect self-reporting by the individual case. The Cambridge Public Health Department (CPHD) is actively reaching out to cases to collect this information. Due to these efforts, race and ethnicity information have been confirmed for over 80% of Cambridge cases, as of June 2020.

Race/Ethnicity Category Definitions: “White” indicates “White, not of Hispanic origin.” “Black” indicates “Black, not of Hispanic origin.” “Hispanic” refers to a person having Hispanic origin. A person having Hispanic origin may be of any race. “Asian” indicates “Asian, not of Hispanic origin.” To protect individual privacy, a category is suppressed when it has one to four people. Categories with zero cases are reported as zero. "Other" indicates multiple races, another race that is not listed above, and cases who have reported nationality in lieu of a race category recognized by the US Census. Population data are from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2014–2018 American Community Survey estimates and may differ from actual population counts. "Other" also includes a small number of people who identify as Native American or Native Hawaiian/Pacific islander. Because the count for Native Americans or Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islanders is currently < 5 people, these categories have been combined with “Other” to protect individual privacy.
