title: Estimating and projecting the populations of urban communities.
abstract: "The author describes a model for estimating and projecting the populations of communities living in small areas within cities.  The model provides a means of updating the demographic inputs needed for projection between censuses and means of developing scenarios of demographic change and housing development.  The method for estimating small-area populations between censuses is evaluated with recently published 1991 [U.K.] Census data.  Single-year age-group detail is provided and the associated databases are embedded in a flexible user interface.  Illustrative projections are discussed and interpreted for the northern English city of Bradford.... The model, although particular to districts of West Yorkshire, has been specified in a general way and could be adapted for use with any British district."
