Abstract: This chartbook is the 15th version to be produced for the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) by the Population Reference Bureau (PRB). The Chartbook describes the rich diversity of the Appalachian Region on a host of demographic and economic measures and provides an important annual view of the area and its people. The data contained in the 2019-2023 Chartbook describe how residents in the Appalachian Region were faring during the COVID-19 pandemic that began in March 2020 and was declared over in May 2023. Thus, the entirety of the pandemic is included in this Chartbook release. Future data releases will reflect the post-pandemic era, allowing data users insights into pandemic recovery and its effects on Appalachia's social and economic dynamics. Most of the data shown here come from the 2019-2023 American Community Survey (ACS), a nationwide study collected continuously every year in every county in the United States by the U.S. Census Bureau. The ACS is designed to provide communities with reliable and timely demographic, social, economic, and housing data each year. To provide as much county-level data as possible, ACS 5-year data files which provide reliable estimates for geographic areas with fewer than 20,000 people are used. Since many counties in the Appalachian Region have fewer than 20,000 residents, these data permit comparable statistics for all 423 counties in Appalachia. The primary purpose of the ACS is to measure the changing characteristics of the U.S. population in a way that is continually updated. The estimates in this Chartbook, therefore, are data collected over the five-year (or 60-month) period from January 2019 through December 2023. This year's Chartbook includes a new chapter--"Chapter 5: Household Characteristics"--which contains five new tables and two new maps covering the topics of housing cost burden and the types of householders with whom children under 18 reside. Appendix A of this chartbook uses selected demographic and socioeconomic measures to provide an overview comparing rural Appalachia to rural areas outside the Appalachian Region. It also includes a map showing the location of these rural counties. Appendix B contains two reference maps--one of the five Appalachian subregions, and one of the five rural-urban county types. Both the subregions and county types are referenced throughout the report.
