Shocking demographers and other trend spotters across the nation, the Census Bureau has removed its 2017 vintage population projections from its web site. The projections, released in March 2018, updated the bureau's 2014 vintage projections. This terse explanation appears on the bureau's projections site:
"An error was identified in the 2017 population projections data release. All data files have been removed. Corrected news products and data files are forthcoming."
Demo Memo had analyzed the projections in two posts in March:
Minority Majority in 2045
Surprises in the 2017 Population Projections
Stay tuned for what went wrong and whether the corrections change our view of the future.
