Average Geographic Mismatch Error
:
0.39 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
0.39
percentage points. More detail is available on the
ward geography page
, and the methodology page explains geographic mismatch error in more detail.

Note: Year-built figures are based on residents’ self-reports. Many people don’t know the precise year their building was constructed, so these distributions should be treated as approximate rather than exact. Medians are also approximated via unit-level averages; see methodology page for more details.
