    • VetPop2023 Urban Rural by Period of Service FY2023-2025

    Metadata Updated: April 2, 2025

    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 VetPop2023 and the most recent national survey estimates from the 2023 American Community Survey 1-Year (ACS) data, the projected number of Veterans living in the 50 states, DC and Puerto Rico for fiscal years, 2023 to 2025, are allocated to Urban and Rural areas. As defined by the Census Bureau, Rural encompasses all population, housing, and territory not included within an Urban area (https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/geography/guidance/geo-areas/urban-rural.html).

    This tables contains the Veteran estimates by urban/rural and period of service.

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