GOVERNOR'S OFFICE Pennsylvania State Data Center; Pennsylvania Population Projections; Public Review [38 Pa.B. 1415]
[Saturday, March 22, 2008]The Pennsylvania State Data Center at the Pennsylvania State University consulting with a Statewide advisory committee comprised of State agencies, regional planning agencies and academic representatives have produced preliminary State and county population projections for the Commonwealth. These preliminary projections are detailed by age, sex and race (race projections are only for counties with a 2,000 nonwhite population over 5,000). Presented are county totals from the 2000 Census and projections for 2010 to 2030.
The method of projection is a cohort-component demographic projection model. That is, the base population is survived 5 years in the iteration of the projection cycle, and births are projected by applying fertility rates to survived females of childbearing age to determine the population due to natural increase. The survived population for each group is then adjusted for projected net migration by age, sex and race.
The detailed population projections and preliminary working papers relating to assumptions are on file and may be inspected and arrangements made for copying at the Pennsylvania State Data Center as indicated.
Persons wishing to comment on these preliminary population projections are invited to submit a statement to the Pennsylvania State Data Center, Penn State Harrisburg, Room 224 Church Hall, 777 West Harrisburg Pike, Middletown, PA 17057, (717) 948-6427, pasdc@psu.edu, within 30 days from the date of this public notice. Comments received within this 30-day period will be considered in the formulation of the final preliminary population projections. Responses should include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a concise statement to inform the Pennsylvania State Data Center of the exact basis of any comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based.
