Data Sources

Population data for 1980 were taken from the Census CD 1980 Version 2.0 (Geolytics 2000) and for 1990 and 1999 from the Census CD Maps Release 3.0 (Geolytics 1999). Projections for 1999 were available for total population, gender, and race.

The NSRE data were provided through the USDA Forest Service Southern Research Station in Athens, GA. The literature review covered journal articles, government documents, books, conference proceedings, and monographs published since 1990.
