For most passers-by I would recommend skipping down to the new millennium to see my figures for 2009. Note: cannot be done because this page is in progress

Methods of interpolation[edit]

For most unsourced numbers (in italics), the numbers are interpolated "linear-style," meaning that the numbers are as they would be if the population increased by the same number of people each year, meaning the population graph would go in a line. However, some of the unsourced numbers (also in italics, but with a note) are interpolated "exponential-style," meaning that the numbers are as they would be if the population increased by the same fraction of itself each year, meaning the population graph would go in a steady curve. I would like to use this exponential curve method all the time (because it makes more sense), but I can't use it if I want to start from zero.
