Urban area   greater than 50,000 people, doesn’t have to have any city w/ 50k or more people, but density is 1,000 people per square mile.  
Urban Cluster   2,500 – 50,000 people, density of 1,000 people per square mile new in 2000. 11% of population lived in Urban Clusters in 2000  
Cohort Survival   – look at a certain age group (0-5) what is the likelihood these individuals will make it to next age group (5-10)  
Symptomatic   – we know that averge hh size is 2.1 – 100 bldg. permits have been issued in the last 5 years therefore, population has increased 210.  
Step Down   Take info from a larger population (DRCOG) relate to a smaller population (Lousiville)  
Linear population growth   increase of X each year - steady  
Gompertz   – ramp up and then level off  
Cross sectional survey   gathers information about a population at a single point in time, conversely longitudinal surveys are conducted over time i.e. citizen satisfaction surveys conducted yearly.  
Descriptive Statistics vs. inferential statistics   Descriptive Statistics describe characteristics of a population.Inferential Statistics determine characteristics of a population based on observations made on a sample from that population.infer things about the population based on the sample.  
Normal distribution   around the mean –bell curve  
Primary vs. Secondary data   primary includes surveys, conversations etc…from the source. Secondary would be from another source such as the US Census Bureau.  
Sample size determined to be accurate?   A sample size of 1 percent is likely to be adequate. The key is to ensure the sample is random.  
Scale of USGS topo maps   USGS topographic maps use scales of 1:24,000; 1:50,000; and 1:100,000 these mean i.e. 1 inch = 25,000 inches/12 = 1inch = 2,083 feet  
Threshold population   the minimum number of people necessary before a particular good or service will be provided in an area. i.e. grocery stores  
Regression analysis   the analysis between two or more variables (x) and (y). For example, score on the AICP exam is dependent on education, years experience, and number of hours studying.  
Nominal Data   Numbers have nothing to do with one another i.e.social security numbers  
Ordinal Data   grades A is better than B but no fixed interval between values  
Interval data   ordered relationship with a magnitude - temperature  
Ratio data   most descriptive -i.e. distance, order, magnitude and  
Variance and Standard Deviation   – i.e. mean = 10 - sample = 12, 13, and 9 difference = 2, 3, and 1…squared differences = 4, 9, and 1 average of differences (-1) = 7 square root of 7 = 2.65….variance is 7 and standard deviation is 2.65  
Percentage of Ppulation Hispanic or Latino according to American Commmunity Survey and US Census   14.7% - 200 census 12.5%  
Average HH Size according to US Census   2.59
