• The Census Bureau estimates are for the year ending July 2008, while the NCTCOG estimates are for the year ending December 2008;
• The Census Bureau methodology is based on births, deaths, net domestic migration, and net international migration;
• The NCTCOG methodology is based on building permits, occupancy factors and household size factors.
