Abstract: We estimated the 2014 and 2024 population of U.S. Veterans using a cohort component population projection method at the Public Use Microdata Area (PUMA) level. Data for this analysis came from the U.S. Census for baseline national projections. We factored in estimates of mortality, adjusted for demographic characteristics, and added data from the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) on Veterans entering the population. We estimated migration flows of Veterans using gravity models. Supplementary data came from American Community Surveys (ACS) and accounted for a variety of factors, including age, sex, race/ethnicity, service era, population size of sending and receiving areas, and distance between areas.
