SE Data,�fi-2 <br /> 1Z <br /> Detailed Information <br /> The DCHC MPO released draft SE Data for the 2040 MTP in March 2012 for public <br /> comment, and subsequently updated the draft SE Data in June 2012. As a result, the <br /> MPO's Web site, www.dchcmpo.org, has ample information on the use of SE Data in <br /> travel demand modeling, the Community Visualization process, population and <br /> employment guide totals for the year 2040, and more on the proj ect pages for Deficiencv <br /> Analvsis and Draft 2040 Socioeconomic Data. <br /> Presentation of SE Data <br /> The maps on the ensuing pages show the household and employment growth from the <br /> year 2010 to 2040 for each scenario. The growth is broken out by traffic analysis zones <br /> (TAZs), which are the primary geographic input into the travel demand model. There are <br /> over 800 TAZs in the DCHC MPO and the TAZs are different sizes, tending to be small <br /> in the more urbanized area to account for the higher residential and employment <br /> concentrations. These are so-called heat maps—the color becomes "hotter" as the values <br /> increase. The maps views are by county. Close up maps for the City of Durham and <br /> Chapel Hill/Carrboro are available on the MPO Web site. <br />
