Population Projections for Mississippi, 2020 – 2050

This report uses the cohort component method to calculate the 2020-2050 state and county level population projections. The cohort component method is a widely used projection technique for state and county level projections due to the data requirements and flexible approach. The technique requires carrying each sex/race group in the target population forward by five-year intervals and in five-year age categories.
