EXTRAPOLATING DATA<br />

It may be difficult to find data specific to the<br />

proposed service area or target population.<br />

Key demographic information about the service<br />

area or target population may permit an<br />

extrapolation of data from a more aggregate<br />

level, such as the State or county.<br />

Use the experience of one population (the<br />

“standard” population) to project the data for the<br />

target population.<br />
