New Mexico Population Projections: Assumptions, Methods, Validation, and Results For the Data User Conference Geospatial and Population Studies University of New Mexico Nov. 2013
Method • Using the Census 2010 county level age-sex break-ups as the base year anchor population. • Using NMDOH Birth Records to calculate 5-year average 5-year age group birth rate. • Using NMDOH Death Records to calculate 5-year average single-year ASMR. • Migration from three sources: forward surviving, backward surviving, and IRS tax return exempts.
Decomposing Process to fit into Cohort Component Method Input Basic Population Component Data input Base Population 1 year or 5 year age group population by sex + Childbearing age population Data input TFR Birth ASFR - Sex Ratio Data input ASMR Life Table and Life Expectancy Death CDR + Census Forward Survival migration Data input IRS cross tabulated migration Migration = Single Year Age Population Projection Process Future Population Method Summary
Assumptions • Total fertility rate, TFR, is used as the assumption for birth, and is assumed to converge at 2.1 at the end of projection period. • Life expectancy is used to represent the assumption for mortality, and is assumed to converge at national level at the end of projection period. • Migration population is assumed to join and share the same TFR and life expectancy as local people.
Migration Method: Average Three Sets of Migration Data • Average age-sex structure from forward and backward surviving method • Apply the averaged age-sex structure to the tax return exempt county totals • Average the three sets of migration data to obtain the data for migration input • Run Cohort Component Model
Migration Method: Comparison New Mexico Annual Total Net Migration 10 year average, both sex
Validation: Natural Increase and Migration • The percentage contribution of natural increase and net migration changes over the 30 years.
