Source: Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute How did we generate these estimates? Statistical models generated these estimates from two data sources: (1) previously-published population estimates1 generated by the Utah Demographic and Economic Model (UDEM)2, and (2) population estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau.3 The full dataset is publicly available on the Gardner Institute website counties. This fact sheet includes a subset of these estimates. The Census Bureau produces similar population estimates used for federal purposes. These estimates differ from the Census Bureau because they incorporate additional local data sources and knowledge to account for unique Utah population characteristics, and also add additional detail. They are generated using statistical models including UDEM. Users interested in state-level projections by race/ethnicity should consult the Gardner Institute's previously-published projections4. Why do these numbers differ from other published sources? The Kem C.
