Notes:

  • Bolded: ACS 90% MOE crosses 0 (no data still with MOE)
  • Arlington County data is weighted by the number of units within the property. 
    • Not all properties have a units counts, which drives the number of housing units down (especially when the NA is for a multifamily).
    • Number of unknown units count: 206 (2009), 233 (2010), 237 (2011), 248 (2012) and 463 (2013)
  • All prepared Arlington County data are used in the tabulations. When calculating census tract and block group (bg) comparisons, only those data that are within a designated tract/bg are included. When geocoding addresses along the county boarder, rooftop coordinates can occur outside the county. When merging tract to coordinates, these properties would not receive a tract/BG ID number

Outliers

Comparison of Misses to Growth

Hypothesis: ACS estimates differ from Arlington County Data

Check to see if misses (ratio score <1 or >1) are occurring in areas with large net unit change.

Comparison of Misses to Housing Density

Hypothesis: Arlington County data is under estimating multi-family buildings due to bad/missing units counts for multi-family buildings.

Check to see if underestimations (ratio score >1) are occurring in areas with multifamily/high housing units density. (Blue areas of both maps should then overlap.)
