Administrative Population Edits and Notes:
Census 2000 Aimag population data were extrapolated to target years of 1990 and 1995 using intercensal growth rates between 1989 to 2000, as reported by the National Statistics Office of Mongolia in 2000 Population and Housing Census Main Results. The national intercensal growth rate from 1989 to 2000 was used to project Gobisumber to target years because the growth rate for this aimag was not availble.
Administrative Spatial Edits and Notes:
The country boundary was matched to DCW; the internal boundries are from the data provided by the Ministry for Nature and Environment.
