New York, NY – November 11, 2026

Easy Analytic Software, Inc. (EASI) is proud to announce the release of its newly updated datasets, including the 2026 EASI Master Database. These latest editions provide businesses, researchers, policymakers, and other interested individuals with the most comprehensive and updated demographic datasets available. The Master Database, in particular, features over 2,500 variables across multiple geographies nationwide, now updated with 2026 estimates.

The EASI Master Database is the gold standard for discerning companies looking to analyze demographic estimates, consumer expenditure data, and retail trade forecasts. Clients can access updated Census-benchmarked data alongside EASI’s proprietary variables to support site selection, market analysis, and strategic planning across industries and economic sectors.

 

What the 2026 Data Shows

EASI’s 2026 estimates put the U.S. population at 342.2 million as of January 1, 2026, up 3.2% since the 2020 Census and 1.1 million more than the company’s 2025 estimate.

Household formation continues to outpace national population growth. EASI estimates 131.2 million U.S. households in 2026, up 3.5% since 2020, with 134.9 million forecast by 2031.

The data also points to a shift in how Americans live. Non-family households are driving growth as they pass 47 million, while family households have held relatively flat at 84 million. One-person households now account for about 29% of all U.S. households, and the number of married-couple families with children under 18 declined over the past year.

 

Key Features of the 2026 Master Database

  • Demographic Estimates: 2026 estimates benchmarked to the 2020 Census, with projections through 2031, covering population, households, income, education, and employment.
  • Retail Trade Data: Retail sales performance for major store groups nationally, helping assess market potential and site viability.
  • Consumer Expenditure Models: Spending potential across 15 broad categories and over 500 detailed variables.
  • Business Employment and Counts: More than 250 business variables covering industry employment and establishment counts.
  • Quality of Life Indicators: Crime models, weather data, and other quality-of-life metrics.
  • EASI Profiles and Life Stage Clusters: 39 profile categories and 84 life stage clusters to identify socio-economic concentrations and household behavior.

 

The 2026 edition also includes data modules with detail by race, gender, and life stage, delivering deeper segmentation and data analysis capabilities. Data is easily downloadable from the EASI website for eight core geographies: ZIP Codes, Block Groups, Census Tracts, Cities, Counties, CBSAs, States, and nationally.

“Each year our clients count on EASI for data they can plan around,” said Laura Katz, SVP of Operations at EASI. “The 2026 Master Database shows American households changing faster than the population itself. With updated population and household estimates for 2026 and forecasts through 2031, our clients can see those shifts at the neighborhood level and make confident decisions about where and how to grow.”
