title: Woods & Poole Complete US Database

description: &lt;p&gt; The 2018 edition of Woods and Poole Complete U.S. Database provides annual historical data from 1970 (some variables begin in 1990) and annual projections to 2050 of population by race, sex, and age, employment by industry, earnings of employees by industry, personal income by source, households by income bracket and retail sales by kind of business. The Complete U.S. Database contains annual data for all economic and demographic variables for all geographic areas in the Woods & Poole database (the U.S. total, and all regions, states, counties, and CBSAs). &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p.The last year of historical data in this edition is from 2016. All data from 2017-2050 are projected. Forecasts and projections are uncertain and future data may differ substantially from the forecasts and projections in this edition. Woods & Poole uses historical data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) and Census Bureau, both of which are part of the U.S. Department of Commerce, to estimate its projections. Much of the economic projections relies on BEA historical data, including county-level data for employment and earnings. Other sources of data include the decennial censuses, postcensal reports for population and household data, and the quinquennial Census of Retail Trade. Census Bureau population estimates are used as the basis for estimates of single-age, sex, and race projections. Projections are based on regional model and export-base projection methods applied to historical county databases from the BEA and Census Bureau. All other geographic projected estimates are based on those county estimates.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Complete U.S. Database has following components: &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Demographic & Economic Desktop Data Files:&lt;/b&gt; There are 122 files covering demographic and economic data. The first 31 files (WP001.csv – WP031.csv) cover demographic data. The remaining files (WP032.csv – WP122.csv) cover economic data. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Demographic DDFs&lt;/b&gt;: Provide population data for the U.S., regions, states, Combined Statistical Areas (CSAs), Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs), Micropolitan Statistical Areas (MICROs), Metropolitan Divisions (MDIVs), and counties. Each variable is in a separate .csv file.&lt;br&gt;
Variables:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt; Total Population &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Population Age (breakdown: 0-4, 5-9, 10-15 etc. all the way to 85 & over) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Median Age of Population&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;White Population&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Population&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Native American Population&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Asian & Pacific Islander Population&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Hispanic Population, any Race&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Total Population Age (breakdown: 0-17, 15-17, 18-24, 65 & over)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Male Population&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Female Population&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Economic DDFs:&lt;/b&gt; The other files (WP032.csv – WP122.csv) provide employment and income data on:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Total Employment (by industry)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Total Earnings of Employees (by industry)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Total Personal Income (by source)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Household income (by brackets)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Total Retail & Food Services Sales ( by industry)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Net Earnings&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Gross Regional Product &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Retail Sales per Household&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt; Economic & Demographic Flat File: &lt;/b&gt;A single file for total number of people by single year of age (from 0 to 85 and over), race, and gender. It covers all U.S., regions, states, CSAs, MSAs and counties. Years of coverage: 1990 - 2050&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Single Year of Age by Race and Gender:&lt;/b&gt; Separate files for number of people by single year of age (from 0 years to 85 years and over), race (White, Black, Native American, Asian American & Pacific Islander and Hispanic) and gender. Years of coverage: 1990 through 2050. &lt;/p&gt;
