| Abstract | Although knowledge of how the population of an area is structured and how it is constantly changing will not solve problems created by the changes, it will provide a basis for understanding the needs of an area and for better program planning. Population processes that produce growth or decline in areas include natural increase, migration, and changes in age structures. National trends related to household size, family structure, women's participation in the labor force, and income distribution also impact on population characteristics. Census data serve as a major source of information to study changes in an area's population. To understand and use the census data, it is important to consider the geographic areas for which census data are issued; the items on the 1980 questionnaire; the various printed reports, computer tapes, and microfiche from the 1980 Census, and the information in each; and the organizations that make census data and other sources of demographic data available to the public. The paper uses charts and graphs to illustrate population trends on different types of counties, lists key contact persons for census data for 13 western states, defines Census Bureau geographic units, and cites additional sources for population change information.
