    • VetPop2020 Urban/Rural by Period of Service FY2023

    Metadata Updated: June 29, 2024

    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 2022 American Community Survey 1-Year data, the projected number of Veterans living in 50 states, DC and Puerto Rico for fiscal year 2023, is 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 period of service in urban and rural areas.

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