1980 Census counls of population currently' are scheduled to replace the 1978 estimates for the final allocations for Entitlement Pe- riod 12. However, the use of April 1, 1980 Census counts of population in calculating Entitlement Period 12 final allocations is contingent upon the availability of these data from the Bureau of the Census prior to the final allocation of the period. Tribes and native villages will have the opportunity to review their 1980 population data if these data actually are used in the final allocations of Entitlement Period 12. For Indian tribes, the resident population is the number of Indians living within the boundaries of the tribal reservation plus the number of Indians living on trust land (in- cluding public domain allotments) adjacent to the reservation and pertaining to the tribe. The adjacent trust land may be trib- ally owned or individually owned. Resident non-Indian members of families with an In- dian head or spouse are also included in the population estimate. For Alaskan native villages, the resident population is the number of Indians, Aleuts and Eskimos living within the boundaries of the village. Resident non-Alaskan native members of families with an Alaskan native head or spouse are also included in the population estimate. The methodology used by the Bureau of Indian Affairs to update the 1970 popula- tion of an Indian tribe or Alaskan native vil- lage depended on the type of accurate data that was available for that tribe or village. In general, the population estimates were derived using a component procedure in- corporating a natural increase rate (births 4 minus deaths) as reported by the Indian Health Service and a net migration rate from Bureau of the Census data. Another example of the type of data used to develop the July 1, 1970 population estimates are lists of residents suppIied by the tribe or native village. II. PER CAPITA INCOME The 1977 per capita income (PCI) is the estimated mean or average amount of total money income received during calendar year 1977 by all persons residing in a given political jurisdiction in April 1978. The 1977 PCI estimates are based on data from the 1970 census and reflect corrections to the census data as well as changes in income, population, and geographic boundaries which have occurred since 1970. The 1977 PCl estimates were published by the Bureau of the Census in Current Population Report~, Series P-25, in reports for the four Census regions. The estimates being used for reve- nue sharing will not agree exactly with all of the figures in the P-2S reports, since cot- rections have been made to the data sub- sequent to the publication of the reports. The 1970 census PCI data were updated to 1977 based on income data from the 1969, 1972, 1974, 1975, and 1977 Federal income tax returns and State and county money income estimates prepared by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) to measure the change from 1969 to 1977. Total money income is the sum of: · Wage and salary income · Net nonfarm self-employment income
