Data users should be aware of changes in geographic boundaries when making comparisons. To learn more about geographic boundaries and notable changes for 2023, check out the Geography Boundaries by Year [/programs- surveys/acs/geography-acs/geography-boundaries-by-year.html]  and Geography Changes [/programs-surveys/acs/technical- documentation/table-and-geography-changes/2023/geography-changes.html] webpages, respectively.

The population continually ages—people enter into older age groups while babies fill the youngest age group. This means that a completely different set of people make up each age group from one time period to the next. Since populations occasionally experience booms/increases (for example, the postwar Baby Boom from 1946-1964) and busts/decreases in births, deaths, or migration, one should not necessarily expect that the population in an age group in the 2010 Census should be similar in size or proportion to the population in the same age group in different data year(s). For example, Baby Boomers were ages 46 to 64 in the 2010 Census while they were ages 59 to 77 in the 2023 1-year ACS, and ages 55 to 77 in the 2019-2023 5-year period. So, because Baby Boomers continue to age over time, the age groups 65 to 69 and 70 to 74 would show considerable increase in population when comparing 2010 Census data with subsequent single year or multiyear ACS data.
