revised older estimates

I noticed that the census bureau revises its previous estimates when it releases new population estimates. Observe:

July 1 Population estimates since the 2000 census (2008)

year     pop.     %change  since 2000

2000 | 242,055 |  -0.32%  |   n/a
2001 | 239,786 |  -0.94%  |  -0.94%
2002 | 237,125 |  -1.11%  |  -2.04%
2003 | 235,876 |  -0.53%  |  -2.55%
2004 | 233,399 |  -1.05%  |  -3.58%
2005 | 231,877 |  -0.65%  |  -4.20%
2006 | 230,914 |  -0.42%  |  -4.60%
2007 | 229,800 |  -0.48%  |  -5.06%
2008 | 228,196 |  -0.70%  |  -5.74%


July 1 Population estimates since the 2000 census (2009)

year     pop.     %change  since 2000

2000 | 242,051 |  -0.32%  |   n/a
2001 | 239,786 |  -0.94%  |  -0.94%
2002 | 237,153 |  -1.10%  |  -2.02%
2003 | 235,959 |  -0.50%  |  -2.52%
2004 | 233,540 |  -1.03%  |  -3.52%
2005 | 232,137 |  -0.60%  |  -4.10%
2006 | 231,368 |  -0.33%  |  -4.41%
2007 | 230,618 |  -0.32%  |  -4.72%
2008 | 230,228 |  -0.17%  |  -4.88%
2009 | 230,130 |  -0.04%  |  -4.92%

-So, while our official estimate for this year is higher than our official estimate was last year, we are still, apparently, declining in population, just from a higher original position. --Dystopos 11:19, 22 June 2010 (PDT)
