te, [In thousands ] 

Note.--Coverage during the period was not comparable and the data were adjusted, using 1959 and 1955 as base years. 
It was assumed that areas where comparable surveys were conducted provided an accurate measure of the percentage 
change between 2 consecutive years. On this basis, population estimates were calculated backward and forward from the 
“base years.
