Projections of the U.S.
population are presented for the period 1988-2080. "The computer tape
comprises two files, a population file and a net immigration file. For
July 1 of each year, 1988 to 2080, the population file presents 30
series of projections classified by age, sex, and race. These
projections are based on July 1, 1986 population estimates and race
definitions, and are projected forward using the inflation-deflation
variant of the cohort-component method with alternative assumptions on
future fertility, mortality, and net immigration. Projections are
provided for 102 age categories...and 3 race categories....In addition,
this file contains data on births and deaths for the above categories.
The net immigration file presents three projections for each year by
age, sex, and race. The high and low net immigration series are
constant for each year, while the middle net immigration series is
constant from 1998 onwards." The population file has 284,580 logical
