Components of Change - components of population change, April 1, 2000 to April 1, 2003;
County Density - land area, and population density, April 1, 2003;
Projections - estimates, projections specified years April 1, 2010 through 2030;
Age - projections by age group, April 1, 2010 and April 1, 2030.
In addition to this, this dataset also contains historical population data for each county dating back to 1830.

Note: 1/ Natural increase is calculated as the difference between the number of births and the number of deaths; net migration is calculated as the difference between total population change and natural increase. Vital statistics data for persons of unreported residence are included only in the entries for the state. For this reason, natural increase and net migration columns may not add to their state totals. Census data has been revised.

Projections information is derived from the following table.
Table 1.41. PROJECTIONS: ESTIMATES, APRIL 1, 2003, AND PROJECTIONS SPECIFIED YEARS APRIL 1, 2010 THROUGH 2030, IN THE COUNTIES OF FLORIDA
Note: The medium projection is the one we believe is most likely to provide an accurate forecast of future population. The high and low projections indicate the range in which future populations are likely to fall. They do not represent absolute limits to growth; for any county, the future population may be above the high projection or below the low projection. If future distributions of errors are similar to past distributions, however, future populations will fall between high and low projections in approximately two-thirds of Florida's counties. For a detailed description of projection methodology, see the source.

County Density information is derived from the following table.

Note: (X) Not applicable. 1/ Land area figures represent the total area in the counties in 2000 and are not adjusted for lands which cannot be developed (government-owned parks or reserves) or are uninhabitable (swamps or marshes).

A note about data scale:
Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data.
1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger.
Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation. For more information regarding scale and accuracy, see our webpage at: <http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>

GeoPlan, during the QA/QC process included the following aspects:
-Reprojected data to FGDL Albers HPGN -Removed the [OBJECTID], [AREA], [PERIMETER], [FGDLCODE], [AUTOID], [SHAPE_AREA], and [SHAPE_LEN] fields from the attribute table. The field [FIPS] was then renamed [FIRST_FIPS]. GeoPlan then added the following fields: [1830], [1840], [1850], [1860], [1870], [1880], [1890], [1900], [1910], [1920], [1930], [1940], [1950], [1960], [1970], [1980], [1990], [2000]. These fields were then populated with the historical population data for each county. Present day Bradford County was assigned the 1860 population data originally assigned to New River County. Also, present day Brevard County was assigned the 1850 population data originally assigned to St. Lucie County. Additionally, the 1830 population data originally assigned to Santa Rosa County was assigned to present day Santa Rosa County, although present day Santa Rosa County was created in 1842.
GeoPlan, during the QA/QC process included the following aspects:
-Extracted population projection attribute data from the 2004 Florida Statistical Abstract Population profile. The attribute data was then linked to TIGER/Line County boundary file. -Added a DESCRIPT field based on NAME (County name). -Added FGDLAQDATE based on the date FGDL acquired the BEBR data.
