Maps | Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service

OVERVIEW

Below we have included a range of maps to assist localities, data users and the general users interested in gaining a better understanding of demographic trends in Virginia and the nation. The specific maps include population estimates, population projections and reference maps (such as Virginia’s counties and cities, MSAs and PDCs). We also have developed two national maps: the racial dot map and national population projections.

Virginia Maps

This map displays the official population estimates for Virginia and its counties and independent cities.

POPULATION PROJECTIONS

This map shows the official population projections for Virginia and its counties and independent cities.

REFERENCE MAPS

Included are several reference maps (PDCs, MSAs, cities/counties) and links to shapefile resources.

United States Maps

POPULATION PROJECTIONS

This population projections map for the nation overall, and for all 50 states (and the District of Columbia), was produced by the Weldon Cooper Center, Demographics Research Group in 2018.

Racial Dot Map

The 2010 racial dot map provides an accessible visualization of geographic distribution, population density, and racial diversity of the American people in every neighborhood in the entire country.

2020 Racial Dot Map

In order to create a racial dot map based on the 2020 census, we must secure funding to develop, host, and maintain the map. We are actively pursuing funding options, but have not yet found a sponsor. If you are interested in funding the 2020 racial dot map, please contact JC Ignaszewski, Director of Development, at ji5r@virginia.edu.
