Vintage 2023 Populations

Each year, SEER uses updated populations to calculate its cancer statistics. Two types of population estimates are produced annually:

  1. Intercensal estimates that incorporate both the recent decennial Census and the previous one.
  2. Postcensal estimates that project forward from the recent decennial Census to the current data year and therefore start with that Census year. These are updated every year and referred to as Vintage populations.

Both types of populations estimates are typically produced by the Census Bureau. However, since the completion of Census 2020, Census Bureau has delayed the release of 2010-2019 intercensal population. To ensure continuity in population estimates, consequently in cancer statistics, the National Cancer Institute has contracted Woods and Poole Economics, Inc. to produce the necessary 2010-2019 intercensal populations benchmarked to each post-2020 census vintage populations, starting with Vintage 2022. The methodology used follows previously published Census methodologies, which are described in the Methodology for the intercensal population and housing unit estimates.

Specifically this year, SEER statistics use W&P intercensal population estimates benchmarked to Vintage 2023 for the years 2010 to 2019 and Vintage 2023 estimates for 2020 forward.

Graphs Comparing New Population Estimates to Previous Estimates

To summarize the differences between the new estimates and the previous estimates, we have generated a set of time-series graphs for each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, the SEER registry areas, and the SEER registry groupings. The graphs are shown by age and by race/ethnicity.

The graphs show trends in the population estimates over time. There are three types of estimates shown:

  1. Population estimates from Vintage 2020 (Last year of forward projections using Census 2010)
  2. Intercensal population estimates produced in both 2022 and 2023 (Revised estimated populations going back in time using both Census 2010 and Census 2020)
  3. Population estimates that are forward projections using Census 2020. Produced both in Vintage 2022 and Vintage 2023.

In general, the Vintage 2023 population estimates used this year are very close to the previous Vintage 2022 estimates, although this varies by state. Since estimating net migration between censuses is difficult, there tends to be more of a difference in the estimates for the more mobile younger populations.

New Population Impact on Rates

At the national level, the new population estimates are not very different from the previous estimates. However, there are more significant differences at the state and county levels that may result in changes in previously published cancer rates. Since mortality rates depend on both the number of deaths and the population at risk, changes in the population are only one factor that impacts the rates. Changes in the population denominator can cause shifts in either direction for disease rate calculations based on the new populations.

We evaluated the impact of the new intercensal populations on the 2020 rates by comparing the 2020 rates estimated using the new Vintage 2023 populations compared to Vintage 2022.
