<DIV></DIV>Do not know the issue you are raising, however, Calif Dept of
Finance estimates are high on municipal populations of SF and LA... by a large
margin... this is in comparison to the annual Census Bureau estimates (which
may or may not be related to ACS).<BR><BR>

ACS 2005-2007 population and housing occupancy/vacancy estimates, are people
finding discrepancies between ACS and other data sources, particularly in
sub-county geographies? ACS estimates are controlled at the county
level and, like the ACS 1-year data, ACS 2005-2007 population estimates are
showing disagreement with other data sources. For example, the Oakland
3-year ACS estimate shows the population at 372,000, when CA Dept. of
Finance estimates are over 400,000. This runs counter to the
on-the-ground anecdotal experience - ACS shows a loss of 30,000 people
during a period that showed an increase of 10,000 housing units.<BR><BR>Will
the decennial census correct this? My understanding is that Census
2010 numbers will be used to control 2010 ACS characteristic data.
There will need to be some adjustment, however, given that the
decennial census benchmarks population at April 1, and ACS uses a July 1
population number. It's also my understanding that population
estimates for 2001-2009 will be updated, though retroactive adjustments for
ACS characteristics will not be done. Does anyone else know something
different about this?<BR><BR>Other thoughts about
this?<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR><BR>Shimon<BR><BR>---------------------------------------------------------------<BR>Shimon
