Enclosed you will find a sheet containing the April 1, 2002, population and household <br /> estimates for your city. Please note that these estimates pertain to one year ago,not the present. These <br /> estimates are being sent to you now for review and comment. A copy of your estimates has also been sent <br /> to your county auditor for review. The estimates are subject to change and are not considered final until <br /> they are released to the Minnesota Department of Revenue in July. Please do not release the estimates to <br /> the public until July 15, 2003. <br /> These estimates mac be used as factors in a number of state aid programs. Questions about the impact of <br /> these estimates on a given state aid program should be directed to the state agency that administers the <br /> program. <br /> The enclosed figures represent estimated population and household changes since the 2000 Census. The <br /> number of households corresponds to the number of occupied housing units. A household may be a single <br /> family, one person living alone, or any other group of persons who share the same living quarters. While <br /> we believe than our estimates are usually accurate, we realize there may be occasional problems. For this <br /> reason, we value your comments. We may not be aware of such changes as housing demolitions, the gain <br /> or loss of group quarters, construction of public housing and the gain or loss of mobile homes. <br /> If you are satisfied with our estimates, it is not necessary to contact us or provide any further information. <br /> If you wish to challenge our estimates, please send us the appropriate documentation, as indicated in the <br /> enclosed guide, by June 10, 2003. Please remember that we cannot correct problems with the 2000 <br /> Census. Questions or comments should be directed to James Hibbs at the address listed on the letterhead. <br /> You may also contact us by e-mail at local.estimatesastate.mn.us or by phone at(651) 296-2571. The <br /> volume of phone calls is heavy at this time of year, so you may be asked to leave a message on our voice <br /> mail system. We will to to respond promptly. <br /> Thank you for taking time to review these estimates. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> • <br /> R Thomas Gillaspy <br /> State Demographer <br /> Enclosures <br />
