| Variable Name | Description |
|---|---|
| FIPS | Federal Information Processing Standard Code (State=37000) |
| County | County Name (State=State of North Carolina) |
| Region | Three regions used to summarize the data. Regions roughly divided by I-95 and I-77. Eastern, Central and Western North Carolina |
| COG | Council of Governments Planning Region |
| MSA | Metropolitan Statistical Area as defined by U.S. OMB March 2023. |
| Year | Estimate or Projection Date (2010-2060). Refers to July 1 of given year. Intercensal Population Estimates: 2010-2019 Certified & Revised Estimates (Vintage 2024): 2020-2024 Population Projections (Vintage 2025): 2025-2060 |
| Race | Race AIAN: American Indian/Alaska Native Asian: Asian & Pacific Islander Black: African American or Black *Other: All Other Races including Two or More Races White: White Total: All Races Combined *See additional information under grpn variable description. |
| Sex | Sex Male Female Total: Both Sexes Combined |
| Grpn | Number of race groups included. All race and sex combinations for “Total” race will have a grpn of five (5) indicating: aian, asian, black, other, and white. For larger counties, each race and sex combination will have a grpn value of one (1) indicating that only that race group category is included within that category. For many small counties, some race groups will not be reported separately but instead will be included within the “other” race group category. This will occur when, for any given year, there are fewer than 250 people of that race group. The “other” race group will then show a grpn of greater than one(>1) indicating the number of race groups included within that county’s other category (one for “other” race plus any additional race group included). For this reason, users should be mindful of race categorizations when aggregating data across counties. |
| AgeXtoY (etc.) | Age groups in columns. Two sets of age groupings are provided: (1) A series of columns showing age groups with small groupings at youngest ages and 10-year age groupings for adults; (2) A series of broader age groupings (age0to17, age18to24, age25to44, age45to64, age65+). |
