HCUP sometimes uses Claritas population data, instead of Census, because the population
information is available at the ZIP Code level and can be aggregated into national population
counts that are consistent with the HCUP data elements. Population data tables from Claritas
are available for 2000 to 2006:
• Table A.4.1 Annual Estimates of the U.S. Population by Median Household Income Quartile,
2000 to 2006
• Table A.4.2 Annual Estimates of the U.S. Population by Urban/Rural Location, 2000 to 2006
