  7. How was the survey used in our models? • Movers subset = HLCM estimation • 1,677 Households moved during the previous 5 years • Workplace Location Choice Model / Work At Home Choice Model development • Individual’s labor force status, primary work location, home location

  8. What to add or change? • What would support potential future model improvements? • Sample size • Larger? • Different stratification? (SF/MF split)? • New or restructured questions: • Instead of Why Chose Location – rank amenities of your new house, eg how important is having a large yard? Proximity to transit? Etc…How big of an effect does that weigh into your selection? • Distinguish between short-run and long-run decisions / choices • Information on rent or mortgage? (High non-response / refusal rates)
