    • VetPop2020 Urban/Rural by Ethnicity FY2021-2023

    Metadata Updated: April 29, 2023

    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, gender, age group, and ethnicity.

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