In determining the population and the degree of land subdivision and use for the purposes of meeting the requirements of NRS 268.580, the annexing city shall use methods calculated to provide reasonably accurate results. In determining whether the standards set forth in NRS 268.580 have been met on appeal to the district court, as provided in NRS 268.604, the court shall accept the estimates of the municipality as to:
1. Population, if the estimate is based upon the number of dwelling units in the area, multiplied by the average family size in the county in which the annexed territory is situate, as determined by the last federal decennial census; or if it is based upon a new enumeration carried out under reasonable rules and regulations by the annexing city; but the court shall not accept such estimates if the applicant demonstrates that such estimates are in error in the amount of 20 percent or more.
2. Total area, if the estimate is based upon an actual survey, or upon county tax maps or records, or upon aerial photographs or upon some other reasonably reliable map used for official purposes by any governmental agency, unless the applicant demonstrates that such estimates are in error in the amount of 20 percent or more.
3. The degree of land subdivision and use, if the estimates are based upon an actual survey, or upon county tax maps or records, or upon aerial photographs or upon some other reasonably reliable source unless the applicant demonstrates that such estimates are in error in the amount of 20 percent or more.
