Census pop by department for 1982 from: Republica Paraguay Direccion General de Estadistica, Encuestas y Censos, Anuario Estadistico del Paraguay 1991, Asuncion, Marzo 1993 P90E and P95E based on department level growth rates. These rates are quite a bit higher than the UN national pop figures for 90 and 95 would suggest.
