VetPop2023 Urban/Rural by Ethnicity FY2023-2025

The Department of Veterans Affairs provides official estimates and projections of the Veteran population using the Veteran Population Projection Model (VetPop). Based on the latest model VetPop2023 and the most recent national survey estimates from the 2023 American Community Survey 1-Year (ACS) data, the projected number of Veterans living in the 50 states, DC and Puerto Rico for fiscal years, 2023 to 2025, are allocated to Urban and Rural areas. As defined by the Census Bureau, Rural encompasses all population, housing, and territory not included within an Urban area (https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/geography/guidance/geo-areas/urban-rural.html). 

This table contains the Veteran estimates by urban/rural, sex, age group, and ethnicity.

Note: rounding to the nearest 1,000 is always appropriate for VetPop estimates.

Tririga

<p>The Paragon and Tririga Applications are project management programs utilized by CFM for construction programs.  The contents of the databases are a compiliation of the electronic contract management system(eCMS), the financial management system(FMS), and status information provided by CFM's engineering staff.  Due to the nature of the contract and financial management system information, the systems access is restricted to CFM personnel and select contractors working for CFM.  The reason for two project management programs is because Tririga is a replacement program for Paragon.  Once training has been completed and the Paragon data has been migrated to Tririga, Paragon use will be discontinued.  Paragon and Tririga are web based applications hosted by contractors outside of the VA intranet system.  Tririga will be the main construction management program as of June 2014.</p>
Home Based Primary Care (HBC)

<p>The Home Based Primary Care (HBPC) database receives and compiles data from local Hospital Based Home Care (HBHC) sanctioned programs at Veterans Affairs Medical Centers (VAMCs) that run home care programs under the Home Based Primary Care program. The primary purpose is to provide HBPC management with case mix, case load, and other performance information. The HBPC information system is referred to as HBC at the VA Austin Information Technology Center and as HBHC at the local level. The HBHC automated a paper-based system of reporting home care episodes. When an admission form is completed, an episode is opened and input into HBHC for a potential home care patient. The patient is evaluated and accepted to or rejected from the program. When a patient leaves the program for any reason an episode is closed and a discharge form completed and input into HBHC. HBHC runs a nightly extract of information within the Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture. Extractions include information on all Patient Care Encounters (PCEs) with the patient and home visits made by home care providers. Details of which provider(s) made the visit, the date, any diagnosis and any procedures performed are included. Each local application sends its data to the Austin HBC database on a monthly basis. A monthly report is prepared based on this information identifying the active cases at each VAMC. A more detailed quarterly report is produced that includes national comparisons among sites.</p>
