| 0

The Census Bureau’s Population Estimates Program (PEP) produces estimates of the population for the United States, its states, counties, cities, and towns, as well as for the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and its municipios. Demographic components of population change (births, deaths, and migration) are produced at the national, state, and county levels of geography. Additionally, housing unit estimates are produced for the nation, states, and counties.

PEP annually utilizes current data on births, deaths, and migration to calculate population change since the most recent decennial census and produce a time series of estimates of population, demographic components of change, and housing units. The annual time series of estimates begins with the most recent decennial census data and extends to the vintage year.

| 0

This layer presents data on chronic absenteeism from the U.S. Department of Education’s CRDC. A chronically absent student is one who misses 15 or more school days in a school year. A student is considered absent if they are not physically present on school grounds or participating in approved off-site instruction or related activities for at least half the school day.

  • Absences are counted when a student misses 50% or more of a school day.
  • Days with less than 50% absence are not counted.
  • The total number of absences reflects all school days missed, regardless of the reason (e.g., illness, suspension, or family responsibilities) and whether the absence is excused or unexcused.

School district data are compiled from school-level records. Calculated percentages represent chronic absenteeism only for schools within the district that have valid, unsuppressed data. For more details, refer to the CRDC’s definition of Chronic Student Absenteeism.
