Average Geographic Mismatch Error
:
0.22 p.p.
Geographic mismatch error comes from Census geographic boundaries not perfectly aligning with
ward
boundaries. We can test how much mismatch error skews
ward
statistics for a subset of variables. For this
ward
, the average error is
0.22
percentage points. More detail is available on the
ward geography page
, and the methodology page explains geographic mismatch error in more detail.
