11 Note: The population estimates by age and gender that were released in December may not be comparable with those published in due to changes in the methodology. As a result, rates calculated based on population for some indicators in the Socio-Economic Profiles are not comparable to earlier years. In a number of instances, the population estimates of certain age groups had to be substantially revised for some geographical areas. This change in the methodology was then applied consistently to all the estimates for the years between July, and July,. The new procedure of estimating sub-provincial population by age and gender is considered to be an improvement over the old method in the overall performance of the estimates. Below is an example of the and estimates for the youth population in Local Health Area (Vancouver Midtown): Estimates for Those -7 and Years of Age in Local Health Area, Vancouver Midtown Age -7 Age Estimates Estimates Estimates Estimates,7 % Growth,7 % Growth 79 % Growth 79 % Growth 7,.%,7.%.% 7.9%, -.%,.% 7-9.7% 7 -.% 9, 7.%,.% 77.% 7 -.%,.%,.% 7 -.% 7 -.9%, 9.%,.% 9.%.9% Please note that all estimates are consistent with the preliminary and revised population estimates of from Statistics Canada. For more information about this change please contact: Frank Ip -7- or Werner Grundlingh In addition to the population estimates, it is also important to note that the counts (numerator) can also change considerably from year to year. Below is an example of the number of year-olds in Local Health Area, Arrow Lakes who graduated from High School. To obtain the percent of -year-olds who did not graduate, the number of high school graduates is subtracted from the population estimate of -year-olds in the area and presented as a percentage. If there are significant changes in the counts from year to year or in the population estimates, the results can show extreme volatility or can even be negative.
