They comprise Postcensal and intercensal population estimates; base population; births and deaths; immigration; emigration; non-permanent residents; interprovincial migration; subprovincial estimates of population; population estimates by age, sex and marital status; and census family estimates.

Professors Haines and Steckel bring together leading scholars to present an expansive population history of North America from pre-Columbian times to the present.

A statistical appendix summarizes basic demographic measures over time for the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
