POPULATION PROGRAM
Since the early 1970s, the Bureau of Economic and Business Research (BEBR) Population Program has provided essential research and data to inform planning and decision-making for state and local government agencies, businesses, research analysts, the media, and the general public.
BEBR annually produces Florida’s official population estimates and projections, including:
- Estimates of population (state, counties, cities, towns, and villages)
- Estimates of the number of households and average household size (state and counties)
- Projections of total population (state and counties)
- Population projections by age, sex, race and Hispanic origin (state and counties)
The BEBR Population Program consists of a team of experts in demography, statistical analysis, and GIS modeling. We conduct research on the accuracy of population estimates and projections, the components of population change, and other demographic topics. We have expertise in building comprehensive, GIS-based models to estimate and forecast population for small geographies using property parcel data. BEBR also develops water demand forecasts, analytics for water conservation, and other related data products and services.
Over the past decade, the BEBR Population Program has generated $4.7 million from its research and data products, 98% of which was in support of Florida-based projects. The table below includes some of our recent projects.
