Excerpt
Excerpt: This report presents the results of a mail survey of 1,049 State and local public agencies conducted from June to December 1989. The voluntary survey was intended to inventory official State and local governmental and other public agencies making estimates of population and/or housing units. Agencies such as chambers of commerce, universities, and selected utility companies, were included; private organizations were not. While the survey attempted to cover as many agencies as possible, this list may not be exhaustive. The focus of the survey was on recent population and housing estimates derived using various estimating techniques. Projections of future levels of population and housing were not within the scope of this survey.
