OFM does population estimation, so why is there a different set?
Subcounty population estimates produced by OFM are population totals for incorporated cities and towns for allocation of state revenues and program administration. OFM produces age by sex estimates and race estimates independent of each other but only at the county level- that is, they do not produce sex by age by race estimates at the subcounty level. The subcounty estimates here are adjusted to county race and sex by age totals provided by OFM but are redistributed according to census counts at the block and blockgroup levels, and include housing starts, to produce the population age by sex by race components routinely used in subcounty public health data analysis and community health assessment.
