Hey - hope this goes through. I'm Mark Evans and I developed the commuter
map. Ed Christopher told me about this listserv. I'm happy to answer any
questions that you may have.
I think Penelope mentioned it elsewhere, but the data is from the 2006-2010
ACS tract-tract commuter data
<https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/planning/census_issues/ctpp/data_products/2006-2010_tract_flows/>
.
I calculated a CV using the estimate and the MOE. I've seen some warnings
about the high level of error in some of the ACS data with recommendations
to include only data with CV < 30-40%. Unfortunately, this removes almost
all the data, so the default setting I used is 80%. Even at this high
level, it excludes a portion of the estimated commuters at the tract level.
In addition, anyone who works and lives in the same tract would not be
included.
Thanks for taking a look!
