You should remember that the ACS estimates
include the household population only, whereas the DOF numbers include people
in group quarters, which makes the State numbers higher.

Population Estimates
Do not know the issue you
are raising, however, Calif Dept of Finance estimates are high on municipal
populations of SF and LA... by a large margin... this is in comparison to the
annual Census Bureau estimates (which may or may not be related to ACS).

For ACS 2005-2007 population and housing occupancy/vacancy estimates,
are people finding discrepancies between ACS and other data sources,
particularly in sub-county geographies? ACS estimates are controlled at
the county level and, like the ACS 1-year data, ACS 2005-2007 population
estimates are showing disagreement with other data sources. For example,
the
Will the decennial census correct this? My understanding is that Census
2010 numbers will be used to control 2010 ACS characteristic data. There
will need to be some adjustment, however, given that the decennial census
benchmarks population at April 1, and ACS uses a July 1 population number.
It's also my understanding that population estimates for 2001-2009 will
be updated, though retroactive adjustments for ACS characteristics will not be
done. Does anyone else know something different about this?
Other thoughts about this?
Thanks,
Shimon
