October 2019

Population estimates for counties are completed using three methods: ratio-correlation, component-

method II, and housing-unit method. These methods and the types of data used for each are

discussed below.

Ratio-correlation procedures utilize multiple regression techniques with the ratio of variable values for

adjacent time periods rather than simply using the variable values themselves as independent and

dependent variables. After an extensive evaluation of the relative accuracy of alternative procedures

(including difference-rate, ratio-correlation, and rate-correlation methods) and an analysis of

alternative variables, a simple ratio-correlation model was employed to complete the final estimates.

This model used the variables of births, deaths, elementary school enrollment, vehicle registration,

and voter registration.

The component-method II procedure employed utilizes data on births, deaths, and elementary school

enrollment to estimate population. In this method, migration of the school-age population is assumed

to be indicative of migration in the total population (with adjustments being made for the historical

differences between the school-age migration rate and the total population's rate of migration). Data

on public school enrollment from the Texas Education Agency and data from the Texas Demographic

Center's survey of private schools in Texas are used to estimate change in the school-age population.

Data on institutional populations were obtained from applicable institutions, while data on other special

populations, such as the elderly population, utilize Medicare enrollment acquired from the Centers for

Medicare and Medicaid Services in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

The housing-unit method used is of the standard form with change in the number of housing units in

the housing stock of an area, from the base date (in this case, the 2010 Census) to the estimate date

(in this case, July 1, 2018), being used to estimate population change. New housing additions and

demolitions are taken from the U.S. Census Bureau survey of building permits and demolitions and

the Texas Demographic Center’s survey of counties and cities issuing permits for residential buildings

The estimates of the total population for counties and places in Texas for July 1, 2018 and January 1,

2019 are completed by personnel from the Texas Demographic Center at The University of Texas at

San Antonio. In this brief report, the methodology used to prepare the estimates is described.

Because of space limitations, only a summary of the methodology is presented. Those wishing to

obtain a more complete description of the estimation procedures and of the historical and sensitivity

analyses used to select the methods employed in these estimates should contact program personnel

in the Texas Demographic Center at The University of Texas at San Antonio.

Introduction

Methodology for County Estimates

and demolitions. Both the U.S. Census Bureau's building permit survey and the Texas Demographic

Center's survey can only collect data from permit issuing county and city jurisdictions (methods for

dealing with non-permit issuing places are discussed later). Assumptions about vacancy rates and

average household size are then used in conjunction with data on the number of housing units in an

estimate area (including those in the area at the base date and the net number of units added to, or

subtracted from, the base housing stock for the time period between the base date and the estimate

date). Separate estimates are completed by type of structure with the types used being single-family

structures, 2 to 4 unit structures, structures with 5 or more units, and manufactured U.S. Department

of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) inspected/mobile homes. For purposes of the 2018

estimates, vacancy rates and average household sizes for each of the housing structure types from

the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS) 2017 5-year Summary File were used.

For 2018, the estimates of the number of new manufactured HUD inspected/mobile homes added to

an area's housing stock were obtained from the Texas Demographic Center's survey of building

permits and demolitions. The sum of manufactured HUD inspected/mobile homes from the survey was

subtracted from the U.S. Census Bureau's estimate of the total number of manufactured HUD

inspected/mobile homes shipped to Texas. The difference was allocated to jurisdictions on the basis

of the change in units in jurisdictions for other housing types from 2000 through 2010, to estimate the

distribution for July 1, 2018.

Prior to the release of these estimates, county estimates are evaluated for consistency and

reasonableness by the Texas Demographic Center and external reviewers from other Sate and local

agencies. While generally the housing-unit population estimate is used as the population estimate for

July 1, 2018, when estimates appeared to be inconsistent with other indicators of population and

population change, an estimate produced using another method (i.e., component-method II, ratio-

correlation method, or an average of methods) could be selected as the estimate for July 1, 2018. The

total of all county estimates are then controlled to the July 1, 2018 estimate for the State obtained from

the U.S. Census Bureau.

The January 1, 2019 estimates are obtained by adding births to and subtracting deaths from July 1,

2018 through December 31, 2018, to the July 1, 2018 estimates and assuming that July 1, 2017 to

July 1, 2018 rates of migration continue from July 1, 2018 to January 1, 2019. The State and county

estimates are obtained using the same method with the sum of the county estimates controlled to the

For places, population estimates were made using the same three methods as used for county

estimates. To complete the component-method II estimates for places for 2018, standard component

procedures were applied to 2010 Census population counts. The 2010 Census population used as a

base for the place estimates includes population adjustments that were accepted by the Census

Bureau as a result of the Count Question Resolution (CQR) process. County level birth and death

data from the Texas Department of State Health Services and data from the Texas Education Agency

Methodology for Place Estimates

on public school enrollment and from the Texas Demographic Center’s survey of enrollment in private

schools were used in this procedure. In addition, data on Medicare enrollment is acquired from the

Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and data on the net movement of persons from the

military to the civilian population were obtained for counties from the U.S. Census Bureau. Values for

each of these items were allocated from counties to places prior to the completion of the place

estimates. Such allocation procedures were necessary because data items that were available for

places (such as birth and death data) showed year-to-year fluctuations and reporting errors that made

the direct use of place-level data problematic. The general allocation procedures used for these items

involved population subgroups closely associated with the item being allocated (i.e., women of

childbearing age for fertility, school-age population for school enrollment, the total population for

deaths, persons 65+ years of age for Medicare enrollment, and the population 14-17 years of age for

net movement). The number in the appropriate subgroups for each place and the remainder of the

county in each county in 2010 were survived to July 1, 2018, and the sum of the survived groups in

each place and the remainder of the county were controlled to the county total for the item as reported

from the appropriate agency to obtain the value for each place. Place estimates were completed for

July 1, 2018 and adjusted to account for population changes due to annexations or other boundary

changes as obtained from the annual Texas Demographic Center boundary and annexation survey.

The housing unit estimates for places were completed using the same general procedures delineated

above (for counties) except that it was necessary to use procedures to allocate new housing units and

demolitions to places that were not reporting jurisdictions. This was done by taking the difference

between the county totals for new building permits and demolitions and the sum of values for places

for which data were reported for a county and proportionally allocating the difference to the non-

reporting places. For the 2018 estimates, the allocation was done on the basis of the non-reporting

places' proportions of county housing stocks as reported in the 2010 Census.

The third method used is the ratio-correlation method. Ratio correlation estimates were made to

allocate county populations to places (and non-place areas) using births, deaths, and housing units for

places as estimation items.

Prior to the release of these estimates, place estimates were evaluated for consistency and

reasonableness by the Texas Demographic Center and external reviewers from other Sate and local

agencies. While generally the housing-unit population estimate is used as the population estimate for

July 1, 2018, when estimates appeared to be inconsistent with other indicators of population and

population change, an estimate produced using another method (component-method II, ratio-

correlation method ,or an average of methods) could be selected as the estimate for July 1, 2018. The

sum of the estimated populations for places in each county (and for that part of each county's

population not living in places) were controlled to county totals to ensure consistency with the county

estimates.

The January 1, 2019 place estimates are prepared using the same extrapolative procedures as

described above for the State and county. Place estimates for each county for January 1, 2019 are

controlled to the county estimate for January 1, 2019.

The estimates presented here differ from those from other sources, such as those periodically pro-

duced by the U.S. Census Bureau, for several reasons. These estimates have been produced using

techniques that are different than those used by the Census Bureau. The Census Bureau uses only

the distributive housing unit method to estimate place populations and the administrative records

method to estimate county populations. Because the administrative records method uses income tax

data that are not available to analysts outside the Census Bureau, this technique cannot be used by

other agencies. In addition, the estimates reported in the following pages utilize more recent data than

those used by the U.S. Census Bureau. The Census Bureau's county estimates utilize 2017 birth and

death data, whereas 2018 values were employed in the Texas Demographic Center estimates report-

ed here. Also, the Census Bureau utilizes birth and death data only in their county level estimates,

while the Texas Demographic Center includes current births and deaths in both county and place level

estimates. Finally, the Census Bureau estimates include legal boundary updates reported before Jan-

uary 1, 2018 but do not include more recent information for places, whereas information on annexa-

tion and boundary changes through the 2018 calendar year were included in the estimates completed

by the Texas program. Because of these differences, the population estimates presented here and

those from the U.S. Census Bureau are not directly comparable.
