Note: Data for 1990 and 2000 are the census counts. Two data sources were utilized in producing the 2007 population estimates. The totals for the State and each of its counties agree with the projections released by the Department of Economic Security (DES) on March 31, 2006 (http://www.workforce.az.gov/?PAGEID=67&SUBID=138). The percentages of population breakdowns by single-year of age, gender and race/ethnicity were derived from the “Bridged-Race Vintage 2006 Postcensal Population Estimates for Calculating Vital Rates”, available from the National Center for Health Statistics ( http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/about/major/dvs/popbridge/datadoc.htm#vintage2006). These percentages were then applied to total state and county population projections for 2007 from DES. The 2007 population estimates by race/ethnicity should not be compared with the previously published estimates for 2001-2005, which used the 2000 year census shares.
