Ratio of discrepancy-distance medians* (95% CI) | ||
Poverty in census tract | Two-fold increase | 0.87 (0.85 – 0.91) |
Density of census tract | Two-fold increase | 0.90 (0.88 – 0.91) |
Multi-stage reference file | Local Parcels | 1.00 (reference) |
Local Roads | 0.89 (0.82–0.96) | |
TIGER-based | 0.47 (0.44–0.51) |
Discrepancy-distance indicates distance between multi-stage and single-stage coordinates for the same address; TIGER indicates Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing system line files, this includes NAVTEQ and Dynamap reference files
* Ratios lower than one indicate that a category or characteristic was associated with a smaller discrepancy-distance (closer agreement between the two geocoding methods)
