<br />Notes and Sources:
<br />'The Population figures for 1980, 1990, and 2000 are from the US Census Bureau.
<br />2 The average increments were obtained by subtracting 1980 from 1990 and 1990 from 2000 and dividing the sum by 2. Example:
<br />((1990-1980)+(2000-1990))/2. The projections were done by adding the average increment to the 2000 data and multiplying the
<br />result by the difference in the projection year and the most recent year of data, then dividing that result by 10 (10 year projection
<br />increments). Example Little River: (3047 + 777) * ((2010- 2000)/10)
