Abstract

Creating, interpreting, and evaluating population estimates involves demographic, geographic, and statistical methods and data. This chapter introduces the major demographic concepts of size, distribution, characteristics, and the components of population change along with geographic concepts including Geographic Information Systems (GIS), density, center of population, concentration and clustering, distance, accessibility, and spatial interaction. We conclude with material on descriptive and inferential statistics, and regression techniques.
