This document discusses building an address index for the 2021 UK census and beyond. It outlines the challenges of addressing, including that addresses are complicated and change frequently, making quality difficult to check. It also notes that communals are particularly challenging. The emerging strategy involves building on existing address lists but improving quality through techniques like probabilistic modeling of address attributes and linking addresses to other administrative data. The goal is to create a high quality address register to support various government statistical operations and surveys.
The document summarizes discussions at a meeting about transitioning from a traditional census every 10 years to an administrative data census. It was noted that an administrative data census could provide more frequent statistics using existing government records but may not provide all the details of a traditional census. Research is ongoing to expand the types of information that can be accurately collected from administrative records alone or combined with surveys. Meeting attendees discussed progress made in determining addresses and households as well as future plans for ongoing research assessments to evaluate readiness to transition away from the traditional census model.
The document discusses methodology for producing household estimates from administrative data. It aims to produce estimates of the number of households, household size, and household composition. Key challenges include inconsistencies between the household definition and address-person relationships in the data, issues with address allocation, and underestimation compared to official statistics. Methods explored include using additional data sources to improve address matching, adjusting household sizes using survey proportions, and inferring relationships to classify households. The results show some improvement in estimates after applying these methods but also remaining limitations.
The document provides real estate statistics for townhouses and condos in Brevard County for February 2017 compared to 2016, including closed sales and median time to contract and sale. It also lists contact information for the Melle Team at ITG Realty for anyone looking to get a free market analysis or more information on purchasing a new home.
The report summarizes housing market trends in the Tucson Metro area in April 2016. It finds that active housing inventory decreased 17% compared to April 2015 while closed home sales increased 6%. The median home price rose 5% to $176,000. Months of housing inventory dropped to 3.2 months from 4.1 months the prior year. New properties under contract in April 2016 were up 4% year-over-year.
The document appears to be a real estate statistics report from March 2017 from The Melle Team at ITG Realty. It includes statistics on townhouses and condos in Brevard County for March 2017 compared to 2016, such as sales, median time to contract and sale, and median percentage of original list price received. It promotes the real estate team and their contact information for anyone looking for a new home or free market analysis.
Things turned quickly in the Toronto real estate market. June saw a continued decline from its March/April peak, with price declines and unusually large drops in sales. View the statistical trends with your own eyes with these monthly charts.

The document discusses building an address register for the 2021 UK Census and beyond. It notes that while there is an excellent starting point from the 2011 Census, addresses are complicated and change frequently. The key challenges include errors in high priority areas, difficulty extracting the correct addresses, challenges with communal establishments, and complex address matching. The emerging strategy involves linking multiple data sources, field checking, testing, and building a probabilistic register to improve quality and inform census operations. The goal is to establish a long-term Government Address Register Service.
Although definitions have changed, the concept of households have always been fundamental to the census and social statistics in the UK. The increasing move to the use of administrative data and other sources brings obvious opportunities - but also challenges in defining households. This event will provide an opportunity to discuss the issues and help inform ONS's future research in this area. It will be of interest to anyone who uses or cares about household statistics or is interested in the future of the statistical system.

End-to-end pipeline agility - Berlin Buzzwords 2024Lars Albertsson
We describe how we achieve high change agility in data engineering by eliminating the fear of breaking downstream data pipelines through end-to-end pipeline testing, and by using schema metaprogramming to safely eliminate boilerplate involved in changes that affect whole pipelines.
A quick poll on agility in changing pipelines from end to end indicated a huge span in capabilities. For the question "How long time does it take for all downstream pipelines to be adapted to an upstream change," the median response was 6 months, but some respondents could do it in less than a day. When quantitative data engineering differences between the best and worst are measured, the span is often 100x-1000x, sometimes even more.
A long time ago, we suffered at Spotify from fear of changing pipelines due to not knowing what the impact might be downstream. We made plans for a technical solution to test pipelines end-to-end to mitigate that fear, but the effort failed for cultural reasons. We eventually solved this challenge, but in a different context. In this presentation we will describe how we test full pipelines effectively by manipulating workflow orchestration, which enables us to make changes in pipelines without fear of breaking downstream.
Making schema changes that affect many jobs also involves a lot of toil and boilerplate. Using schema-on-read mitigates some of it, but has drawbacks since it makes it more difficult to detect errors early. We will describe how we have rejected this tradeoff by applying schema metaprogramming, eliminating boilerplate but keeping the protection of static typing, thereby further improving agility to quickly modify data pipelines without fear.

Building an address index for
census and beyond
Alistair Calder
Head of Addressing
Data Architecture - ONS
Mike James
Head of Address Research
Data Architecture - ONS
2. Addresses
• ONS Requirements – and why it has now become easy
• Issues – and why it is still really hard
• Addressing in Government - joining up
• Addresses and Admin data – building quality
• Demo
(& an annexe)
5. The requirement (tbc)
• A ‘complete’ household frame
>99% of household spaces ( addresses)
• Minimal over-coverage
duplicates / commercial / demolished etc < 2 or 3% ?
• A brilliant (integrated) communal frame
• Residential, communal & business (& non postal)
• Up to date, correctly located etc etc …. And more
11. The challenge ..... Why it’s hard this time
• We have an excellent starting point but addresses are
complicated and change a lot. There will be error & error
clusters itself in the areas we care about the most – Very
difficult to check quality
• Extracting the right ones is difficult. Small errors can be
significant – and cause trauma
• Communals are important and particularly challenging
• We plan to do MUCH more with addresses than post-out – huge
opportunity but attribute thinking is new
• Addresses are complex so matching is really hard
20. The challenge ..... Why it’s hard this time
• We have an excellent starting point but addresses are
complicated and change a lot. There will be error & error
clusters itself in the areas we care about the most – Very
difficult to check quality
• Extracting the right ones is difficult. Small errors can be
significant – and cause trauma
• Communals are important and particularly challenging
• We plan to do MUCH more with the register than post-out –
huge opportunity but attribute thinking is new

40. The Address Register in an Admin Data Census
• What is the role of the Address Register
• Address Register Quality
• Address Matching Demo (what could possibly go
wrong…?)
A perfect address register won't overcome all the
issues of moving from HH to address definition
But it sure would be helpful…

46. Strategy for Delivering Quality
• Using AddressBase Premium (ABP)
– 2.2M more residential addresses than PAF
• Close partnership with Geoplace
• Lots of LA engagement
• Supporting the use of ABP in Government – embed Unique Property
Reference Number (UPRN) throughout government data
• Understanding types of error, their causes and
impacts
– Over coverage (duplication, misclassifications)
• Non-existent annexes (included by some idiot…..)
– Under coverage (missed HMO, missing new builds,
misclassifications)
– Single instance or clustered?
47. Methods & Evidence of Quality
• Over-Coverage
– Social survey outcomes (does the sample include non-
residential addresses?)
• Using ABP to clean PAF removes majority of non-residential addresses
– Analysing Census tests
• Number and cause on non-deliveries (non-residential, not yet built)
– Within 1% error target
– Can improve through GeoPlace/LA collaborative working
• Under-Coverage
– Admin data – are there addresses we can’t find on ABP?
• Sample of 100K – only 2 addresses we can’t find
– Social surveys – are there addresses we might misclassify as
non-residential?
• Sample of 120K – only 135 address we might misclassify (and these
are uncertain)
48. Communal Establishments
• Really important to Census
– Care homes, university halls, sheltered housing, etc
– Enumeration challenges
– Impact on statistics
• Really important to Admin Data Census!
– Working with ADC to understand their requirements
• Our approach:
– Create CE QA Pack for each CE type
• Definitions, data sources, risks, mitigations, LA risk analysis
– Provide a framework for identifying, monitoring and
improving CE data
50. Summary
• AddressBase at the core – need to confirm & ensure quality
• Linked and integrated indexes
• addresses, communals, businesses, attribution
• No separate national address register (except temp / operational)
• it is all about improving the national source
• Increased use of source >>> linking >>> feedback to improve the national hub
• Local Authority liaison critical to the plan
• Share approach and lists much earlier than before
• – but coding of AddressBase & LLPGs the key
• ONS highly supportive of openness / open data
– but not dependant upon it
• Matching Service Talking to GDS, OS, HMRC, BEIS, DWP , Wales … etc.
• Love to share and talk about addresses and matching
