Final 2010 CTF Estimates
The Colorado Department of Local Affairs, State Demography Office (SDO) has prepared the final July 1, 2010 population estimates. These population estimates are the basis for the distribution of Conservation Trust Fund (CTF) lottery funds to your jurisdiction.
The July 1, 2010 estimates are based on the recently released April 1, 2010 Census counts. The July 1, 2010 counts begin with the Census April 1, 2010 counts and add births, deaths and net migration between April 1, 2010 and July 1, 2010. The time series between July 2000 and July 2009 have been adjusted and benched to the April 2000 and 2010 Census counts. The estimates for previous years will be different than those released this year.
