Average Geographic Mismatch Error
:
0.28 p.p.
Geographic mismatch error comes from Census geographic boundaries not perfectly aligning with
district
boundaries. We can test how much mismatch error skews
district
statistics for a subset of variables. For this
district
, the average error is
0.28
percentage points. More detail is available on the
district geography page
, and the methodology page explains geographic mismatch error in more detail.
