Panhandle Population Estimates Stir Debate Before Census
Department of Commerce used 270,000 as a working basis for Panhandle hiring and earlier counts.

Shaller notes fewer people per meter than 1940 causing overestimates, while 28 counties may gain about 30 percent, totaling 357,959 per chamber estimates.
