The
intercensal population estimates for the specified Hispanic origin groups
were used to calculate revised birth and fertility rates for the 1990s
(1991-1999) produced by NCHS. Published reports that used the
1990-based postcensal population estimates have been reissued in whole or
in part.
Comments
In response to the need of a wide range of users for revised population
estimates for the specified Hispanic origin groups, NCHS is making these
population estimates available to the public on this website. NCHS is
using these intercensal population estimates to calculate birth and
fertility rates. Despite use of the best available data and methods to
produce these estimates, the methodology used may have introduced errors
into the estimates.
NCHS
would appreciate receiving feedback on the usefulness of the estimates as
well as any problems that are identified. Please provide comments via
e-mail to: POPEst@cdc.gov.
