| Section 2 | Data Quality Information | Top of full metadata | Top of page | |
| Attribute Accuracy | The Decennial Census, SF1, reports population and housing from a '100% count.' The Census Bureau attempts to survey or interview all known addresses. Still, the data are subject to error. The errors derive from survey data collection (response errors, field follow-up for missing cases) and processing by the Census Bureau (geolocation of population and housing, data coding, compilation processes, and imputation of missing cases). | |||
| Logical Consistency | Data presented were compiled by US Census Bureau. To compare 2010 Tracts and Block Groups with historical statistics, the tabulation Blocks of past Censuses should be compiled into 2010 Tracts and Block Groups via 'spatial join' and summarization. Data presented have been assigned new field names by Metroplitan Council in order to aid usability. |
|||
| Completeness | Entire seven county geographic area is covered. | |||
| Horizontal Positional Accuracy | ||||
| Lineage | Data presented were compiled by US Census Bureau. To compare 2010 Tracts and Block Groups with historical statistics, the tabulation Blocks of past Censuses should be compiled into 2010 Tracts and Block Groups via 'spatial join' and summarization. | |||
