Question 1 of 50👑 VIP

A mid-sized city is updating its comprehensive plan and the planning director wants to forecast population 20 years out. The city has experienced volatile annexation activity and a large military base whose deployments cause sharp short-term population swings. The senior planner argues against using a simple linear extrapolation of the last three census counts. Which forecasting approach best addresses BOTH the age-structure detail needed for school and senior-facility planning AND the migration volatility caused by the base?
