Several general methods are in common use  for making population projections for areas and communities  A variety of procedures and techniques has been developed under each of these general methods The general methods are:

  • Graphical or mathematical projections of the curve of past population growth .
  • Projections based on relationships of population growth in an area to that in other areas.
  • Projections of net migration and of natural increase .
  • Forecasts based on specific estimates of future employment and other occasionally used methods.

In  practice, few studies will use one method in the manner described in this report. Frequently, a particular area will have conditions which will best be met by adopting a unique method.
