Not in Montgomery county, where more than are reported work within the county alone. This
visualization reports 250,295 total resident workers, the 2009 – 2013 ACS reports 519,287,
of which ~310,000 stay in the county and another ~160,000 work in the three nearest (well
within 293 miles) counties/county equivalents (DC). So, I think it can’t be that.
That logic does hold in less dense areas. A random check of Alabama counties yields the
same error. Maybe this is LEHD/LODES data? It is notoriously missing workers… (But even
LODES shows 432,000 workers for Montgomery county, MD).

They may only be mapping those flows that have enough records so there is not an imputed
or suppressed O-D pair, which would mean sometimes up to 50% of the records do not have
flows, so its missing half of the flows. Those show up as 0 workers due to suppression.

I would be cautious, just did a quick check, it says ACS, but unsourced as to what ACS
(I’m guessing 2009 – 2013 county to county flows – otherwise OD pairs are very tricky),
also looking at just Montgomery county and DC, and expanding the tool to its maximum range
(zero to 293 miles) it’s missing about half the total workers in each of those. Also,
tracts are referenced, but that set is not reported at tract. I welcome your thoughts.

Check out this CTPP animation map – we didn’t make it. It’s very cool, wish we had-
