Abstract:	The Population Estimates and Projections Area of the U.S. Census Bureau regularly develops and prepares population estimates for the nation, states, and counties by various demographic characteristics. In developing these independent estimates, the U.S. Census Bureau employs a demographic procedure called an "administrative records component of change" method. A major assumption underlying this approach is that the components of population change are closely approximated by administrative data in a demographic change model. These administrative data are extracted from a variety of administrative records provided by various federal agencies. This paper will describe the various types of administrative data used as input to the population estimates program and discuss the challenges in merging the various data into one population estimate system.
