Figures 1 through 5 have l?ee\l compiled, from State-Regional data
furnished by representatives of the eight States of the Arkansas-White-
Red Region. Data in the Figures hllve been c!?ffipiled for each of the
seven ASA's. In some cases MCC data furnished by the Water Resources
Council has been used particularly for the bllse period 1975. Also in
some instances representatives of' the ,states ~ave used MCC data where
State data are missing or when MCC data appear'to be as reliable as
estimates made by the states. Where ASA's include portions of two or
more states, the portions have been added for the ASA summary. Also,
where data are lacking from one or more states, the figures show "NA"
or "Not Available" in that portion of the ASA or regional summary.

There are somesignifieant trends shown in Figures 'I, 2, and 3
which are summarhed for specific ASA I'S and for the Region in the follow-
ing. Tbe trends for 1985 and 2000 are expressed in percentage increases
(+), or pereentage decreases (-) of the base year 1975 estimates.

Population in the AWR Region is forecast in Figure 1 data to increase
13 percent by 1985 and 34 percent by 2000 compared to 1975 estimates. In
contrast total emplo~ent, based on estimates in 5 of the 7 ASA's, is
forecast to increase 24 percent and 60 percent respectively.

Per capita income, also..frQm Figure 1, is estimated to increase
42 percent by 1985 and about 122 percent by 2000 over 1975 estimates,
based on data from 4 ASA's, and on 1967 dollars.
