1. Since parts of this report are not based on 1980 census data, 

 another report such as this should be undertaken using the 1980 cen- 

 sus data. 



2. State and regional planning agencies should fill data gaps and avoid 

 deficiencies in census data. To accomplish this, a more credible 

 and comprehensive data collection and monitoring network must be 

 established within the State. In general, the social and demo- 

 graphic data necessary for a study of this type are available. 

 These data should be collected, compiled, and reported periodically 

 so that policy-makers and planners can better develop goals, poli- 

 cies and strategies. 



3. Improved methodology should be employed to validate ways of measur- 

 ing rates of changes within specific time frames (e.g. change from 

 1960-69 to 1970-79) in relation to changes in the age, race, and sex 

 computations of the people in Florida. If possible, methods of 

 establishing quantitative errors for these estimates and changes 

 need to be determined.
