VetPop2020 Urban/Rural by Poverty & Disability FY2021-2023
Description
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 VetPop2020 and the most recent national survey estimates from the 2021 American Community Survey 5-Year (ACS) data, the projected number of Veterans living in 50 states, DC and Puerto Rico for the fiscal years, 2021 to 2023, are allocated to Urban and Rural areas. As defined by the Census Bureau, those not residing in Urban areas are assumed to be in Rural areas (https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/geography/guidance/geo-areas/urban-rural/2010-urban-rural.html).
This table contains the Veteran estimates by urban/rural, age group, poverty, and disability. The poverty level and disability are determined by ACS based on responses on total income and functional difficulties. Refer to the sections on Poverty and Disability Status in the document, https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/tech_docs/subject_definitions/2021_ACSSubjectDefinitions.pdf
Note: Rounding to the nearest 1,000 is always appropriate for VetPop estimates.
