For the period 2006-2011

Lowest 4374 in 2006

Highest 4788 in 2009

Last year reported 4478 in 2011

A drop of 104 current to highest

A rise of 414 from lowest to highest

Hard to believe the population could ever rise that much in such a short time period.  The problem with statistics?

Best method is averaging over the longest period possible.
