This site is designed to be a source of population data for places in the United States, and for selected places in countries around the world.  It presents population data from the official censuses of the United States and other countries, and provides the user with up-to-date information on the population size of individual cities, and so far as possible on their growth over time. Currently the main emphasis is on places of at least 2,500 in the United States.  Eventually the site is planned to contain tables for all states, and for many other countries and their subdivisions.
