My estimated population guess is 905,500, but I have a question.
Austin (city) Texas Quick Facts
It shows the 2010 population as 790,390. That's obviously based on the official census taken that year. It shows the Population, 2010 (April 1) estimates base as 810,759. Why are these numbers so different? I clicked on those little "i" icons over on the left hand side and read what it said and I didn't understand any of it.
It also states "Population percent change, 2010 to 2013, is derived by dividing the difference between the 2013 population estimate and the April 1, 2010 estimates base by the April 1, 2010 estimates base."
If you do that, the Population percent change 2010-to 2013 is 9.2%.
In Goldenboot's signature, he shows a population increase 2010-2013 as 12.02% most likely because he's comparing the
actual 2010 census to the
estimated 2013 population. To get a more accurate idea of our growth rate shouldn't we be comparing 2010 estimate to 2013 estimate?
Having said all that . . . .
K-e-v-i-n! Can you please move all these off-topic population posts (including mine) to a more appropriate thread - either the off topic thread or else the
2013 Census data for Austin and other cities thread? (You could just drop "2013" from the thread title.) Thanks!
Hey - someone's got to keep us focused. Right Goldenboot?
