We are trying to come up with an estimate of adult "daytime" female population
for each census tract in Salt Lake City.
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).
From the 5-year CTPP, we will use tables A20211,
A101203, and A11600 for the three terms in the above calculation. We will only calculate
the measure for women 16 years and older (although ideally we'd like to have a measure
for just 40 years and up).
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.
