Analyzing the Residential Status of Demographic Frame addresses

Oregon Convention Center 

The Census Bureau's Demographic Frame is a comprehensive, person-level frame consisting of geographic, demographic, social, and economic characteristics. It can be used to identify addresses associated with each person and potentially to identify their correct residence. A person found on the Demographic Frame often has multiple person-address records. These multiple records create difficulty in placing a person at their correct residential address. The Demographic Frame has a person-place model process that assigns probabilities to person-address records. This analysis will evaluate addresses for people from these models on the Demographic Frame based on a reference date of July 1, 2021. As part of this analysis, we will compare these Demographic Frame addresses to addresses in the 2020 Census Enumeration and the 2021 American Community Survey frames. This comparison will allow us to examine the Demographic Frame addresses that are not found within these other Census products, which may provide information to help identify whether subsets of these addresses may be more likely to be residential or non-residential addresses.
