COpy OF LETTER CIRCULARI~ED TO STATE AND LOCAL AGENCIES

The Bureau of the Census is now in the process of updating its inventory of population estimates prepared by state and local agencies. This inventory has proved to be very useful in bringing to the attention of consumers the appropriate sources of such data. The summary of the most recent· survey is given in the enclcsed Current population Reports, Serie's p-25, No. 24-4-. In order to clas­ sify and tally the varied responses, appropriately, we should appreciate as complete replies to the questions below as you can give us. (If your agency does not prepare population estimates, we should appreciate your indicating this to us and supplying us with the name of the agency that does prepare such estimates. Please feel free also to forward this letter to the appropriate agency.)

1. What is the name and address of the agency preparing population estimates? What is·"the name of the specific individual to be contacted?

2. What are the geographic areas covered, such as counties, Cities, and census tracts?

3. In what detail are the figures available--that is, total population only, or by age, sex, color, etc.?

4-. What method or methods are used? Can you provide a description of the methods, including the kinds of symptomatic data and the particular way in which they are used? Is net migra­ tion measured separately, or are the various data used to measure total population directly?

5. Have you conducted any tests of accuracy of your past estimates or of the methods you use to prepare current estimates? Are the results published or otherwise available? (If yes., may we receive a copy?)

6. How often are estimates prepared, and how frequently are they published? In what publica­ tion do they app~ar? (May we receive a copy of the latest report or the latest set of estimates?)

7. If estimates are not published regularly, are they available to the public upon request?

8. Are the estimates prepared and used for any specific legislative purpose, such as the dis­ tribution of tax money?

9. Has your agency prepared intercensal estimates for the 1950-60 period tied in with both the 1950 and 1960 Census of population? Have they been pubUshed? (If yes, may we receive a copy of the report?)

In addition to population esti~mates, there has b(0en much interest expressed in the availability of population projections for states and local areas. In our termi'nology here, population projections refer to estImates of future population for 5, 10, 15 years, etc. a.head. At this Ume, we are mainly interested in whether your agency or some other State or 10eal organization in the Sta.te has prepared population projections within the last five years (since the April 1, 1960 Decennial Census) and if so, may we receive a copy of the report? us w.ith thi.s information will be greatly appreciated. Your cooperation in 25
