My impression .... and it is only an impression is that the target numbers from FIRST are just numbers pulled out of the air, sort of the same way a sales manager at a car dealership creates numbers. But I could be completely and thoroughly wrong.

Probably irrelevant assuming acturary data across age groups are more or less consistent across the US. Meaning you could just as easily correlate to the number of 1 year old babies. What we need to look for are "comparative team/population ratios" between states/regions, not age groups. methinks...
