MAZ-level variables are used as zone size terms etc in TM2. The new variables are bolded below. The table should be set up with a row for each MAZ and columns for each of these variables. The internal names are consistent and the table is produced for each forecast year. The divisions below are for clarity but shouldn't be in the table. A template of what the table should look like is at https://github.com/BayAreaMetro/bayarea_urbansim/blob/new_maz/output/temp_maz_data.csv All output file should be in /Runs

MAZ and Demographic variables (all integers)

  • MAZ: integer, maz id from maz_geography.csv in /data (note that the parcel to maz lookup ( at https://mtcdrive.box.com/s/n4nxgws8ygdud7s9xl6v215li0u6047g , this file is too big to work well in GitHub) also contains parcels linked to maz 999999 which means they are covered; most of these are in the Bay and will not develop but if things don't add up check these unmatched polys)
  • HH: Total Households (including group quarters)
  • POP: Total Population (including group quarters)

Employment Variables (all integers)

are built by summarizing the the empsix jobs in an MAZ and then proportioning them to the steelhead categories (empsh) below using the region-level proportions for each year in empsh_to_empsix.csv.

  • ag = AGREMPN * proportion listed for ag in empsh_to_empsix.csv
