migration. The estimates made by the Census Bureau's Component Method II are specific to the civilian population under 65. To this population is added an estimate of the resident military population based on station strength statistics and an estimate of the population 65 and over based on Medicare statistics.1 The provisional July 1, 1973 estimates for large metropolitan parishes were developed by adding the average change between 1972 and 1973 estimates based on Component Method II and the Housing Unit method to the 1972 estimates. In the Housing Unit method the estimates of population are based on estimates of the housing inventory. Changes in the housing inventory are derived from data on building permits issued and demolition records, or on data on electric meter connections. The provisional July 1, 1973 estimates for the remaining parishes were developed by adding the change between 1972 and 1973 Component Method II estimates to the 1972 estimates. All parishes were subsequently adjusted to agree with the provisional July 1, 1973 State estimate published in Current Population Reports, Series P-25, No. 508. 1See footnote on page 1. Table 1.
