SUBJECT     2003 Population Estimate

 

 

The RTPA population estimate for the cities, unincorporated area and the RABA service area within Shasta County is based on the 2003 California Department of Finance E-1 population estimate.  An estimate of the population served by rural transit is also included for calculating the FTA Section 5311 funding allocation based on 2000 census data.  Where an area does not directly correspond to the area reported in the E-1 report, the rate of change from a comparable area listed in the E-1 is used to adjust the 2000 U.S. Census estimate.
