Many population estimates for cites between nosecount years are based on the increase in volume of sewerage handled by treatment facility .
But just how does the statistically - derived sewage - utilisation material body compare with the fastidiously - garner census data call for every 10 years ?
The correlation can depart . On census class , if the two numbers racket are not close we would look further into the reason with a demographist . If the nosecount number is high , than it could be a rural area that does n’t have the most robust infrastructure . If the census telephone number is modest it could be an urban city where information on crushed income domain of the city may be undercounted . Overall the number is ordinarily close enough for predicting population growth or reduction . I would n’t be surprised if the numbers we get word in the news about Detroit ’s population loss were n’t based on sewerage at least partially .
