Abstract | Rural Arizona population estimates were determined for 67 communities by computing a ratio of 1970 population to a 1970 population indicator and then multiplying the resultant persons per indicator times the 1974 value of the specific indicator. The indicators employed were: average daily elementary school enrollment (Arizona Department of Education for the school year 1973-74); postal boxes (U.S. Postal Service, as of July 1973); residential phone connections (Mountain Bell Company, as of March 1974); and electrical hookups (Arizona Public Service Company, as of December 1973). Tables were constructed presenting the results of population estimates for 67 communities for which the Community Development Section compiles community profiles. A range of population was estimated because the data used to indicate population growth was not defined in a consistant explicit manner for each community. Thus, the estimates could not help but contain population in areas immediately surrounding the community. It was felt, however, that a range of population was a more realistic expression of the state of the art of population estimation. (JC) |
