Abstract
Our purpose in this chapter is to provide a general roadmap of subnational population estimation methods, which are covered in detail in subsequent chapters. We set the stage for this overview by differentiating between pre-censal, inter-censal, and post-censal estimates and classifying population estimation methods. Finally we describe the variety of methods currently used to estimate population. This focus of this chapter is on population estimates based on usual residence or de jure. We cover de facto (physically present) population estimates in Chapter 16.
