Within the Department of Finance, there is the Demographic Research Unit. The purposes of the unit include, but are not limited to, the following:
(a) Providing adequate demographic data to aid effective state and local planning and policymaking.
Terms Used In California Government Code 13073
- City: includes "city and county" and "incorporated town" but does not include "unincorporated town" or "village. See California Government Code 20
- County: includes city and county. See California Government Code 19
- department: refer to the Director and Department of Finance, respectively, unless the context otherwise requires. See California Government Code 13001
- Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
