S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Social and Economic Statistics Administration BUREAU OF THE CENSUS Series P-26, No. 54 ESTIMATES OF THE POPULATION, February 1974 AND METROPOLITAN AREAS: FUSIANA PARISHES This report presents population estimates for July 1, 1972 and provisional estimates for July 1, 1973, for parishes and metropolitan areas prepared under the auspices of the Federal-State Cooperative Program for Local Population Estimates. The objective of this program is the development and publication of State-prepared estimates of the population of counties using uniform procedures largely standardized for data input and methodology. The methods used have been mutually agreed upon by the individual States and the Bureau of the Census on the basis of a test of methods against the 1970 census. For a more detailed description of the program and an analysis of the test results, see Current Population Reports, Series P-26, No. 21, "FederalState Cooperative Program for Local Population Estimates: Test Results--April 1, 1970," April 1973. Parish estimates for July 1, 1971 were published earlier in Current Population Reports, Series P-26, No. 16. Because of changes in input data for some parishes since that report, estimates shown here may not always be completely comparable with those for the earlier years. The estimates shown here for the 64 parishes in the State were prepared by the Research Division, College of Administration and Business, Louisiana Tech University. This agency was designated by the Governor to work with the Bureau of the Census in implementing and carrying out the Federal-State Cooperative Program. 1, 1972 AND 1973 APR 1974 The estimates shown for July 1, 1972 are based on an average of the following methods, adjusted to agree with the July 1, 1972 State estimates published in Series P-25, No. 508. 1. The Regression (ratio- correlation) method. In the Regression method a multiple regression equation is used to relate changes in a number of different data series to change in population distribution.1 The series of data used in the Regression method for Louisiana are: three-year sums of resident births (X1), three-year sums of resident deaths (X2), elementary school enrollment in grades 1 through 8 plus elementary special and ungraded (X3), and covered employment (X4).
