What populations projections does the Agency use?
The West Virginia Health Care Authority uses population projections prepared by the Regional Research Institute at West Virginia University. The 2000 U.S. census is the basis for the 2000 population and future year projections. The Authority uses the population projections based on the short-term in-out migration averages. The data are available at: http://www.rri.wvu.edu/PopWeb/PAGES/FRONT3.
