Population and Housing Estimates for Census Blocks: The San Diego Experience Jeff Tayman San Diego Association of Governments
Presentation Topics • Describe the San Diego Estimation System • Study Comparing Two Sources of Address Data • Issues in Doing Block-Level Estimates
Geographic Boundary System • Master Geographic Areas (MGRA) • Based on census blocks • Some blocks are split • Approximately 30,000 areas
Information Easily Accessible • Standard Geographies • Cities • Zip Code Areas • Or Non-Standard • Radius from a Point • Buffer Area • User Defined Area
Methodology and Data • Housing Unit Method • Top Down Approach • Official State Estimates • Local Housing Unit Permit Data • Assessors Parcel Data • Vacancy Rates, PPH and GQ Pop
Geographic Sequence Jurisdiction EstimatesState Estimates Census Tract Estimates Local Housing Permits MGRA Estimates Assessors Parcels
MGRA Estimates • Address-Level Data Sets • Assessors Parcel File • Group Quarters Facilities • Street Centerline and Address File • GIS Admatch Procedure
Admatch- Assign Activities to Spatial Locations • 2142 Diamond St. • 1832 Grand Ave. • 1532 Missouri Ave. • 1190 Emerald St.
Evaluation of Two Address-Level Administrative Records • Utility Meter Hook-ups • Assessors Parcel Data • Test Period 1990-1996 • Jurisdictions and Census Tracts • Use Local Permits as Standard
Utility Hook-ups • Need 1-to-1 Match with New Units • Replacement Meters a Problem • Master Meters Need Unit Count • No Accounting for Lost Units • Not Easy to Get • Deal with multiple companies • Deregulation
Assessors Parcels • Units at Address for Apartments and Condominiums an Issue • Year Built Not Precise • Determining Lost Units Difficult • Less Problems with Multiple Agencies Serving a County • Relatively Easy to Get • Private Vendors • $1,300 per year
Maintaining an Up-to-Date GIS • Address Files • Misspellings, Abbreviations, Omissions • PO Boxes • Street Centerline Files • Missing streets and address ranges • Keeping it current • Registration
3rdAvenue 1510 3rd Ave Block 101 Block 102 Poorly Registered Street and Boundary Files 3rd Avenue
Some Issues in Producing Very Small Area Estimates • Data Management • Temporal Consistency • Boundary Changes • Vacancy Rates and PPH • Controlling • Accuracy
