2011 Residential Construction and Group Quarters Facility Survey
Dear Conservation Trust Fund Officer,
The Colorado Department of Local Affairs is beginning its process for calculating the July 1, 2011 population estimates that are used in the Conservation Trust Fund (CTF) program. The first phase of this process involves estimates of total housing units and group quarters facilities (such as prisons and dorms). These data will be used as the foundation for your entity's population estimate. Please review the tables below, and provide any data updates in the spreadsheets (.xls files) linked to below. Please also contact us by phone or email if you have any changes in housing units or group quarters due to annexations.
We need you to review these data and provide any documented input data by December 21, 2011 for the July 2011 Conservation Trust Fund estimates process. This will be the only time during the estimates process that you will be able to update your residential construction, annexation or group quarters data for the July 2011 Population Estimates.
Please send all data and questions to Deying Zhou, Estimates Demographer, at deying.zhou@state.co.us or (303) 866-4989. Please submit all data using the guidelines on the documents below.
