County's Population Expected To Show Decline

Statistics released late last month through the online edition of Broward-by-the-Numbers, a monthly information service of the Environmental Protection and Growth Management Department's Planning Services Division, indicates population declines for many Broward municipalities. The April 2008 edition compares the three most reliable estimating sources of population: the U.S. Census Bureau, the Bureau of Economic and Business Research at the University of Florida and the county's Planning Services Division. According to the report, in most instances, the final results of the separate estimating procedures are not very different. The report concludes that when the U.S. Census releases statistics this summer, Broward County's municipalities should expect to see declines in their populations.
