Orange County Housing Estimates

Subsequent to the release of the 2022 Orange County Progress Report, the California State Department of Finance (DOF) released their revised Population and Housing Estimates for Cities, Counties, and the State, January 2021-2022, with 2020 Benchmark in May 2022. These were benchmarked to the 2020 Decennial Census, which resulted in significant changes to city-level estimates. Attached here are the revised, benchmarked estimates that replace previous estimates and their locations within the report. Revised jurisdiction pages have been published at http://www.fullerton.edu/cdr/demographics/.
