VetPop2007 reflects an update of several data sources and a few methodological enhancements:
-The model uses more recent DoD data on actual separations through September 30, 2006.
-VetPop2007 introduces a new summary table for Gulf War veterans, allowing the distinction of those who served since October 1, 2001.
-State to state migration incorporates American Community Survey (ACS) data to supplement the migration data from Census 2000. This improves state estimates by using more current information of veterans’ whereabouts, as the accuracy of the Census 2000 data diminishes with time.
