Abstract
Where estimation methods primarily differ is in the specific variables and data sources considered by the analyst and the ways in which those variables and data sources are related to each other. Future changes in the field of population estimation will therefore stem from changes in the availability of historical data, the tools for organizing and manipulating those data, our understanding of how different variables interact to determine population change, and our ability to build new models or develop new methods based on these new insights. The inspired analyst will incorporate factors not previously considered in developing estimates, or will put them together in creative new ways.
