This Excel spreadsheet is the primary output from the "county controls" development process. It includes forecasts of overall population for counties in the MORPC 15-county region in five-year intervals in the forecast horizon, as well as forecasts of housing, jobs, workers, and other variables related to these. It is updated approximately every four years in conjunction with updates to the Metropolitan Transportation Plan land use model (1), however it is also made available to the public as a standalone resource via the MORPC Population Hub (2). Referring to the MORPC Data User Personas (3), it includes summary tables intended for use by Engaged Elaine, Decisive Delaney, and Hopeful Hadiya, and a machine-readable long-form table intended for use by Savvy Sonja, Specialist Samir, and Coding Corey. The forecasts are produced using a proprietary time series model using historical population data from the U.S. Census Population Estimates Program (4) and various sources of contemporary data. A detailed methods document has not been released as of March 2023, however more information is available upon request.(1) MORPC Metropolitan Transportation Plan Appendix A: Future Land Use, p. v, https://www.morpc.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/A_LandUse.pdf(2) MORPC Population Resource Hub: County Forecasts, https://www.morpc.org/popforecast(3) MORPC Data User Personas, https://www.morpc.org/tool-resource/data-user-personas/(4) Population Estimates Program, U.S. Census, https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/popest.html
