Abstract

In 1998 and 1999 the National Agricultural Statistics Service produced estimates for equine using a variety of survey instruments. The Nevada State Statistical Office (SSO) felt that the survey indications grossly understated the equine population in Nevada. Several factors are thought to have contributed to the perceived undercount of the Nevada equine population. Two of the most prevalent reasons were an insufficient number of samples from the area frame and the allocation of most samples to non-urban areas (the area sample targets more traditional agricultural commodities). This problem, while not unique to Nevada, was particularly acute in Nevada due to the high degree of urbanization in the State and the extreme popularity of equine within the urbanized, non-farm population. This paper details the steps used to design an area based sampling frame using zoning maps obtained from local municipalities to produce estimates of equine in the urban areas around Las Vegas and Reno, the procedures used to collect the data, and the results of the pilot survey that was conducted.
