(ii) In the case of a city incorporated subsequent to the last federal census, or a subsequent census validated by the population research unit, the population research unit shall determine the population of the city.

In the case of the consolidation of one city with another subsequent to the last federal census, or a subsequent census validated by the population research unit, the population of the consolidated city, for the purpose of this subparagraph, is the aggregate population of the respective cities as determined by the last federal census, or a subsequent census or estimate validated by the population research unit.
