Assessing Impact: Ratio Studies Using Demographic Data
Presentation Category
Modeling and Valuation
General Session Description
Ratio Studies usually focus on measuring equity using data known directly by a valuation agency during the valuation process, such as location, quality, and building size. However, in assessing the human impact of the valuation process, it can also be helpful to measure equity using demographic data that was not directly included in the valuation process. This presentation does exactly that using data from Mecklenburg County, NC and GIS data derived from the US Census Bureau’s 2020 American Community Survey.
