In the past four centuries, the population of the Thirteen Colonies and United States of America has grown from a recorded 350 people around the Jamestown colony in Virginia in 1610, to an estimated 346 million in 2025. While the fertility rate has now dropped well below replacement level, and the population is on track to go into a natural decline in the 2040s, projected high net immigration rates mean the population will continue growing well into the next century, crossing the 400 million mark in the 2070s. Indigenous population Early population figures for the Thirteen Colonies and United States come with certain caveats. Official records excluded the indigenous population, and they generally remained excluded until the late 1800s. In 1500, in the first decade of European colonization of the Americas, the native population living within the modern U.S. borders was believed to be around 1.9 million people. The spread of Old World diseases, such as smallpox, measles, and influenza, to biologically defenseless populations in the New World then wreaked havoc across the continent, often wiping out large portions of the population in areas that had not yet made contact with Europeans. By the time of Jamestown's founding in 1607, it is believed the native population within current U.S. borders had dropped by almost 60 percent. As the U.S. expanded, indigenous populations were largely still excluded from population figures as they were driven westward, however taxpaying Natives were included in the census from 1870 to 1890, before all were included thereafter. It should be noted that estimates for indigenous populations in the Americas vary significantly by source and time period. Migration and expansion fuels population growth The arrival of European settlers and African slaves was the key driver of population growth in North America in the 17th century. Settlers from Britain were the dominant group in the Thirteen Colonies, before settlers from elsewhere in Europe, particularly Germany and Ireland, made a large impact in the mid-19th century. By the end of the 19th century, improvements in transport technology and increasing economic opportunities saw migration to the United States increase further, particularly from southern and Eastern Europe, and in the first decade of the 1900s the number of migrants to the U.S. exceeded one million people in some years. It is also estimated that almost 400,000 African slaves were transported directly across the Atlantic to mainland North America between 1500 and 1866 (although the importation of slaves was abolished in 1808). Blacks made up a much larger share of the population before slavery's abolition. Twentieth and twenty-first century The U.S. population has grown steadily since 1900, reaching one hundred million in the 1910s, two hundred million in the 1960s, and three hundred million in 2007. Since WWII, the U.S. has established itself as the world's foremost superpower, with the world's largest economy, and most powerful military. This growth in prosperity has been accompanied by increases in living standards, particularly through medical advances, infrastructure improvements, clean water accessibility. These have all contributed to higher infant and child survival rates, as well as an increase in life expectancy (doubling from roughly 40 to 80 years in the past 150 years), which have also played a large part in population growth. As fertility rates decline and increases in life expectancy slows, migration remains the largest factor in population growth. Since the 1960s, Latin America has now become the most common origin for migrants in the U.S., while immigration rates from Asia have also increased significantly. It remains to be seen how immigration restrictions of the current administration affect long-term population projections for the United States.

In the United States in the year 1900, approximately 88 percent of the population was White, while most of the remainder was Black. The Native American population stood at roughly 270,000 people in 1900, which was equal to just 0.35 percent of the total population - the indigenous population of North America was estimated to have been around 3-4 million people at the point of European contact in the early-16th century, however a mixture of disease, conflict, and displacement saw their numbers fall to a fraction of this level four centuries later.

The American Indian and Alaska Native Summary File (AIANSF) contains summary data for Native Americans derived from the 2010 Census questionnaire. Covered population and housing subjects include age, sex, tribal affiliation (enrolled or principal tribe), household relationship, household type, household size, family type, family size, group quarters and housing tenure. The data are organized in 71 tables (one variable per table cell) which are iterated for the total population, the total American Indian and Alaska Native population alone, the total American Indian and Alaska Native population alone or in combination with one or more other races, and 1,567 detailed tribes and tribal groupings. Sixty-one tables are presented down to the census tract level and 10 tables down to the county level. Altogether the tables are presented at 76 levels of observation, including the United States as a whole, regions, divisions, states, counties, county subdivisions, places, census tracts, metropolitan statistical areas/micropolitan statistical areas, congressional districts (111th Congress), state legislative districts, school districts, 5-digit ZIP code tabulation areas, American Indian Areas/Alaska Native Areas/Hawaiian Home Lands, tribal subdivisions and tribal census tracts. In the Census Bureau's nomenclature, the population group iterations are called "characteristic iterations" and levels of observation are called "summary levels." The AIANSF tables are also presented for geographic components of some summary levels, e.g., all federally-recognized American Indian reservations collectively within each state or the nation as a whole; all metropolitan statistical areas collectively within each state or the nation as a whole, and the principal cities of metropolitan or micropolitan statistical areas. AIANSF contains 17,271 data files: a file with geographic identification variables (the geographic header record file) and 11 files with the population and housing variables for each characteristic iteration. Together with the data files, the Census Bureau prepared a codebook, Microsoft Access database shell and additional documentation. ICPSR provides the data files in a ZIP archive and the database shell and additional documentation in a second ZIP archive

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 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 Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.

About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the Indian Trail 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 Indian Trail 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 Indian Trail was 42,854, a 2.64% increase year-by-year from 2022. Previously, in 2022, Indian Trail population was 41,751, an increase of 1.63% compared to a population of 41,081 in 2021. Over the last 20 plus years, between 2000 and 2023, population of Indian Trail increased by 29,232. In this period, the peak population was 42,854 in the year 2023. 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).
