Population Estimates Process

In this presentation, Brian Lister from the North Central Texas Council of Governments' Housing Unit outlines the process for estimating population figures. Key elements include the advantages of using updated housing stock counts by type, as well as the methodology for gathering data from cities. Notable advantages include usability for small area estimates, while challenges include quality control measures during data collection. The estimates undergo a thorough review process before being published and communicated to city managers, ensuring accurate population data for local governance.
