Brookings Responds To Demographia
18 July 2001 - 1:00pm
The Brookings Institution responds to Demographia's concerns about the data used for it's analysis of sprawl across the U.S.
"The 'Who Sprawls Most' report relies on revised data provided to the authors by mail on CD from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Inventory Division in April 2001. This release corrects problems that were caused by a computer programming error in 1999-2000. While the data are currently not available on NRI's website, the NRI will repost when sampling errors are generated. As we state in the report, the new release does not and cannot eliminate sampling errors, which are higher for single-county metropolitan areas."
