Figure 4: Historical Total Population Estimates for Santa Clara & San Mateo Counties, San Francisco, and California, 1850-2010
Data is from the California Department of Finance 1850-2010 Historical U.S. Census Populations of Counties and Incorporated Cities/Towns in California. Silicon Valley data includes the city-defined region. Census 2000 counts include changes from the Count Question Resolution program, so data may not match data published in Census 2000 reports. The state total for 1890 includes the population of Indian reservations (5,268) specially enumerated in 1890, not distributed by counties. Silicon Valley and San Francisco population estimates for 1850 are not available.
