Every 10 years, the United States conducts a census. Population estimates are done at the state, county, tract, and block levels. The block level is the smallest geographic area.
A Census Designated Place (CDP) is a concentration of population for statistical purposes. When the US Census finds a concetration of homes that has not been identified as a municipality, they draw their own boundary and provide a name.
In 2000, Mescal did not have a unique CDP boundary.
In 2010, the US Census identified two boundaries for Mescal. The boundary within Pima County was designated "Pimaco Two" and the boundary within Cochise was designated "Mescal".
In 2020, the boundary within Pima County was renamed "J-Six Ranchettes", though it appears that the boundary remained as the 2010 census.
From the US Census, the total population is as follows:
| CDP | 2010 | 2020 |
|---|---|---|
| Population Pimaco Two / J-6 Ranchettes | 682 | 647 |
| Population Mescal | 1812 | 1751 |
| Total Population | 2494 | 2398 |
The following maps show the Census Designated Place boundaries for 2010 and 2020.
