{{Historical populations}} is used as an information box on pages showing each census year with a population and a percent gain/loss comparison. It is intended to combine the functionalities of two existing templates, Template:US Census population and Template:Histpop, the former of which is specialized for the United States, and the latter of which lacks many features of the former.

Template parameters [Edit ...
If the template has a separate documentation page (usually called "Template:template name/doc"), add [[Category:Population templates]] to the <includeonly> section at the bottom of that page.

However, the loss of several states' detailed census records in the Burning of Washington D.C. in the War of 1812 makes estimation difficult. Nearly all states that lost their 1790 (and 1800) census records have tried to reconstitute their original census from tax records etc. with various degrees of success.
