1987 Large Water Estimate = 51,800 acres.

1992 Large Water Estimate = 51,800 acres.

1997 Large Water Estimate = 51,800 acres.
 

Total Land Acreage for all years 1982, 1987, 1992, and 1997.
Estimate = 7,385,500 acres.
Standard error estimate for Total is not comparable with other data due to computational differences, and will not be shown.

NOTE: Data may not add to totals because of rounding. The error referred to in the table is the standard error of the estimate. You can obtain the margin of error at the 95% confidence limit by multiplying the error by 1.96.  Standard errors greater than 50% of the estimate indicate a low level of statistical reliability.
