Hi Mark,

��

Thanks for the explanation!

I���m looking at Montgomery county as an example, but had trouble duplicate the results.�� I���m assuming that the trip distance filter was the cause.�� I wonder how you apply the trip distance filter?�� Is it defined by distance between centroids of residence and workplace tracts?

��

Thanks,

JJ

Hey - hope this goes through. I'm Mark Evans and I developed the commuter map. Ed Christopher told me about this listserv. I'm happy to answer any questions that you may have.

I think Penelope mentioned it elsewhere, but the data is from the��2006-2010 ACS tract-tract commuter data.

��

I calculated a CV using the estimate and the MOE. I've seen some warnings about the high level of error in some of the ACS data with recommendations to include only data with CV < 30-40%. Unfortunately, this removes almost all the data, so the default setting I used is 80%. Even at this high level, it excludes a portion of the estimated commuters at the tract level. In addition, anyone who works and lives in the same tract would not be included.

��

Thanks for taking a look!
