Population puzzle of Tucson taps multiple estimates
Franks Allen notes estimates of Tucson population vary widely by counting method. City limits figures hover around 340000 while metropolitan estimates reach about 436000 and county tallies run higher. The 1970 census shows 262900 city residents and 351000 in Pima County. The Census Bureau plans a special count later this year to clarify.
