Well, I wouldn't know how that's done. Why don't you tell us? Drop some references here so we can figure it all out.
I have no experience or direct knowledge on how the census report is calculated, but I would assume they estimate it based on the population's growth percentage in previous years. I am familiar with technical analysis and calculating estimates based on technical trends. For instance, if the population grew by 30% in 2004 and by 40% in 2005, then it's prudent to assume the population would grow by 50% in 2006. Is that what you're referring to?
