    The population of Odessa County in 2010 is 53,010

    Explanation:

    Initial population is 62,000. The 10% of 62,000 is 6,200, so by 2009 the population fell to 55,800.

    The 5% of 55,800 is 2,790, which means that by 2010, the population fell to 53,010.

    The total population of Odessa County in 2010 is 53,010 people.
