@martinholmer, this seems like a nice, clean way to preserve history and set up a framework for new growfactors when we have them. The minor adjustments to expected values for tests seem minimal. Not surprisingly, make I think the source note is slightly confusing and possibly not as accurate is it should be. It says, Every year I checked against the spreadsheet data source from CBO (tab "1. Population and growth", file "61879-Demographic-Projections.xlsx", in zip https://www.cbo.gov/system/files/2026-01/57059-2026-01-Demographic-Projections.zip) matches to all 3 decimal digits, all the way out to 2075. CBO gives, as the source note for the data, "Data source: Congressional Budget Office." So maybe it's better to just give a cite for "The Demographic Outlook: 2026 to 2056, January 2026" as the source. When I asked Claude for an APA citation I got (after correcting a minor mistake that Claude also had because it could not access the web version):
I'd probably make first letter of demographic and outlook capitalized. As far as I'm concerned, merging is good. |

@donboyd5, Thanks for the advice on the CBO population data citation. I changed the comment to clarify that no one CBO spreadsheet has the population for all the years needed in the YAML file. |
