Weldon Cooper estimates are used by most Virginia agencies for population since the most recent Census. Weldon Cooper data incorporates Virginia records such as births and deaths.
Census Estimates are the US official estimate of population.
American Community Survey is a sample survey over 3 or 5 years used to determine demographic data that used to be obtained every 10 years on the Census long form. The primary use of ACS data is for social characteristics rather than population and housing counts. (See Census Estimates or Weldon Cooper Estimates for population estimates.)
