Allocating Forecast Data to the Landscape Author: Karen A Larson 600 NE Grand Avenue Phone: 503-797-1581 The Data Resource Center produces 20-year forecasts of population, households, and employment for use in its land use and transportation planning functions. These forecasts are created at the transportation analysis zone (TAZ) level. This paper addresses the process used to further disaggregate this data and to assign the data to quarter-acre grid cells based on multiple criteria including whether the cell represents developed or vacant land, current zoning, observed refill rate, and theoretical upzone densities. |
