The Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) requested the Census Bureau to conduct the CSMA to provide housing unit and population estimates for September 1, 2005 for Maricopa County, 24 designated jurisdictions, 5 sub-areas for Phoenix, Arizona, 2 sub-areas for Mesa, Arizona, and the balance of county. The MAG requested that we produce the above estimates by a survey of housing units and a 100 percent enumeration of the non-housing unit population. The MAG will use the estimates for revenue sharing purposes. The Census Bureau will not certify the estimates nor use them in our official population estimates prog.
