  • According to the US Census Bureau: "The Census Bureau publishes July 1 estimates for years after the last decennial census (2000)..."
    In other words, the list I can provide as mentioned in my clarification, will be the most up-to-date list so far available.

  • Hi county,

    I can provide you with a list of the 100 largest counties based on Census 2000 population. Alternatively I can provide a list of population estimates for the 100 largest U.S. counties based on July 1, 2004 population estimates.
