Everyone, thank you for your reply. Like I said, we have treated MSU campus
differently (special generators), we have all data on students and
faculties and we have mapped their movements too (student origin and class
location and time, faculties/staff home addresses to buildings), parking
lots, commuter lots, and student parking permits.
I have not looked into group quarters data, just downloaded it. CB put this
number not in the correct block group, some block groups are correct, 3
block groups covered student residences, but others are a mixed between
city housings with student housings. Big campus block group (I aggregated)
has 16 houses and 861 people, found out a block of resident hall with
population 818 slipped into this block group.
I'm asking this question to know how many people encounters funny number on
census data and probably expand this issue to the implications (can ~10k
population be considered as a constant in population projection (i think
so)?, business/employment (student employment) or traffic impact affected
by this population... for 3 months it disappears..

Since many college students have vehicles parked near their dorms (e.g. at
Michigan State Univ, my alma mater) college student vehicle trips should be
part of the travel demand analysis.****

You get population but no housing when the entire population is in group
quarters. Leave the GQ out of the vehicles per household calculation,
although it is definitely possible that people in college GQ have vehicles.
Since you're in Michigan, if you'd like me to help you some more, give me
a call at 248-354-6520.

If you see on my screenshot (table on the right), how can CB put
population number but no houses ? On residential areas I checked randomly
(20-30 samples), the CB block level data is correct or close, census block
said 12 houses and my parcel data shows the same number.****

I have to create new aggregate based on zip from block data for
calculating number of vehicle per household (I got sanitized (name and
address removed) vehicle registrations only zip for location). University,
Colleges are not included (special generators). I just found out strange
campus population at block level and I'm wondering the implications.****
** **
For block group (wide campus area), it does not include block with high
population (dorms) and it is wrong. ****

Hary – do you think that the Census Bureau put the 25 dormitories in the
wrong location? Did you look at nearby blocks and block groups?****

I have not checked other campus area population counted by census 2010 but
this number is very large (and hope not double counted by their parents),
10,688.****
****
And there are only 3 houses on the campus area based on the census block
result, I know: 1 president's house, 1 chapel , and... don't know the 3rd
but there are 25 dorms not counted. And the house location is not right, or
a block with population data but no house... as my boss said, a lot of
people live at MSU tunnel.****
****
If attachment is not allowed: zip code 48825, MSU campus area on census
2010, total block population: 10688, number of houses:3 .. and based on
campus data students live on campus (residence hall) is about 15000 (the
nation’s largest single-campus residence hall system !)****

Any comments ?****
