Popis:	Population estimation methods designed for the state/provincial and county levels generally exhibit high levels of accuracy. However there are persistent shortcomings that have not been resolved through methodological development. We argue that at least some of these shortcomings would be better understood by linking these methods with the substantive socio-economic and demographic dynamics that clearly must be underlying the changes in population that the methods are designed to measure. To illustrate our main point we conduct a case study of Indiana over two periods 1970-1980 and 1980-1990. Indiana is selected because a common population estimation method exhibits a common problem over the two periods: its coefficients change. We link these changes to Indianas transition to a post-industrial economy and describe how this transition operated through demographic dynamics that ultimately affected the estimation model.
