<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The mission of the Cooperative Forecasting Group (CFG) is to develop a set of population, household, and employment control totals and small area forecasts to be used for transportation planning. The data set is utilized at BMC as an input to the travel demand model and for air quality conformity testing, and is available to federal, state, and local government agencies, as well as the general public. The local planning agencies that comprise the CFG are responsible for the development of the estimates and forecasts for their own jurisdictions. While methodologies vary between jurisdictions, the forecasts are generally based on local comprehensive plans, adopted zoning maps and regulations, and an inventory of residential holding capacity. The allocation of employment to the small area and its distribution across industry sectors is based largely upon an inventory of employers across the region.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>New forecast rounds are developed on an as needed basis, but are generally triggered by the update of major planning documents by the local jurisdictions, significant unforeseen demographic shifts, and the availability of small area data. The members of the CFG have the opportunity to make annual updates to the cooperative forecasts to account for unexpected changes when a complete new “round” of forecasts is not warranted. For more information, see https://www.baltometro.org.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>The geographic unit of this layer is traffic analysis zones (TAZs), which are basic spatial units of analysis facilitating the ability of transportation planners to forecast changes in commuting patterns, trip volumes, and modes of travel, and to develop plans to meet the changing demands for transportation facilities and capacities. Each TAZ represents an area containing similar kinds of land use and commuter travel.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN STYLE="font-weight:bold;">FIELDS</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>STATEFP20 - State (FIPS)</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>COUNTYFP20 - County (FIPS)</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>NAME - TAZ Name</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>TAZ20 - TAZ Number</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>JUR - Jurisdiction Number (BMC internal)</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>JURNAME - Jurisdiction Name</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>RPD20 - RPD Number</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>RPDNAME - RPD Name</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>ACRES - Land area in acres</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Round - CFG round number</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Pop20 - 2020 Population</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Pop25 - 2025 Population</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Pop30 - 2030 Population</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Pop35 - 2035 Population</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Pop40 - 2040 Population</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Pop45 - 2045 Population</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Pop50 - 2050 Population</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Pop55 - 2055 Population</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>HHs20 - 2020 Number of households</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>HHs25 - 2025 Number of households</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>HHs30 - 2030 Number of households</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>HHs35 - 2035 Number of households</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>HHs40 - 2040 Number of households</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>HHs45 - 2045 Number of households</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>HHs50 - 2050 Number of households</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>HHs55 - 2055 Number of households</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Emp20 - 2020 Number of jobs</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Emp25 - 2025 Number of jobs</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Emp30 - 2030 Number of jobs</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Emp35 - 2035 Number of jobs</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Emp40 - 2040 Number of jobs</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Emp45 - 2045 Number of jobs</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Emp50 - 2050 Number of jobs</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Emp55 - 2055 Number of jobs</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
