Re: [CTPP] female daytime population

Hi, Steve Your methodology is totally fine with me. I wish we had the cross table of sex by age for workers for both Part 1 and Part 2, so you can get measures of female workers for 40 years up.

Intuitively, for a census tract, A, this estimate is: (the number of women who have a workplace in A) plus (the number of women live in A) minus (the number of working women who live in A). Can anyone from this list provide me with feedback about this methodology? Are there any big issues that I need to be aware of? Is there a better way to be doing this? In the end, we would like a daytime measure of the female population in order to calculate mammography accessibility metrics. Many thanks for your comments.
