What is going on with the weighted counts in the January 2025 CPS? Find out in our latest blog post: blog.popdata.org/weighted-cou...

A graph showing the trendlines of weighted count estimates using CPS monthly data showing a discontinuity between each December and January – these are the annual population control adjustments at work. In January 2025, the shift is particularly abrupt; this is because the 2024 vintage population estimates (i.e., the population controls for the 2025 CPS) reflect an improvement in the Census Bureau’s methodology for measuring net international migration.
