Understanding address accuracy: an investigation of the social geography of mismatch between census and health service records
Ian Shuttleworth, David Martin and Paul Barr
Structure• Introduction• The data and the project• The analysis– Geography– Individual factors– Property/household factors
• Concluding comments, questions and ways forward
Introduction• Several “Beyond 2011” options include the use
of administrative data• Health service register is most complete of the
existing administrative population sources• Need to understand these admin data better• Extending earlier work on migrants aged 25-74,
this presentation considers spatial accuracy of health card registration in April 2001 for all age groups against the 2001 Census
The Data and the Project• The Northern Ireland Longitudinal Study (NILS)
is used (c450,000 in the analysis), based on a 28% sample (104/365) of birthdates of the NI population taken from healthcards
• The analysis compares address information from the healthcard system (individual property: XUPRN) as recorded in April 2001 compared with the 2001 Census (29th April)
The Data and the Project• It is assumed that the 2001 address
information is the ‘gold standard’ to assess spatial accuracy
• These first results are a descriptive profile of matches/mismatches and will be followed by further (multivariate) analyses of the position as of April 2001, lags post 2001, and the position in 2011
The Analysis: Geography• Maps show: (i) mismatch between valid information
from Census and healthcard system and (ii) missing information from both systems
• Mismatch higher in some rural areas – a feature that appears elsewhere in other parts of the analysis
• Missing information on address higher in rural areas• Specific peaks of mismatch in some urban locations• These are a result of (i) types of people in different
places; (ii) types of property in different places; (iii) interactions of (i) and (ii); and (iv) NI-specific factors
Address mismatch levels – excluding missing information from Census and BSO
Missing XUPRNS from (a) Census and (b) BSO
Missing Census Missing BSO
The Analysis: Individual factors• Individual social and demographic characteristics
influence address matching rates• Some of these might be expected in terms of
conventional ‘hard-to-enumerate’ categories (eg age, gender), others less so (eg education)
• Lower rates of match of interest are marked in red; higher rates in green in the following two tables – social/demographic variables and labour market variables
• The average match is 75.8%• We start with two graphs of age….and then the tables

The Analysis: Property/household factors• Property/household influence address accuracy• Some of these might be expected in terms of
conventional ‘hard-to-enumerate’ categories (tenure), others less so (eg property type)
• Lower rates of match of interest are marked in red; higher rates in green in the following two tables – social/demographic variables and labour market variables
• 20% of households have mismatch between the address information of members – problems reconstructing households?

Concluding Comments• Around 17% of individuals are in the ‘wrong place’;
about 20% of households with two or more NILS members have individuals in the ‘wrong place’
• Is 85% as good as it gets? Or 75%? Are stocks of ‘mismatch’ at one moment in time a balance between inflows and outflows?
• In some cases, eg people who moved in the past year, error is most likely associated with lags in reporting information
• For others, eg cohabitees, the mismatch may well be a reflection of a complex reality and complex lives
Concluding Comments• Where BSO XUPRN ≠ BSO Census, the distance of
the error is small (mode, median= < 1km)• Interpretation will vary according to the intended
purpose (eg for health screening and some statistical purposes need to know exact address, others perhaps not so critical)
• These insights all raises the issue of how to cope with uncertainty and the inherent ‘fuzziness’ of life
• Mismatch is a result of property/household factors and individual factors (see overleaf)

Future analysis• To get a better grasp of these issues we need
to move to multivariate modelling – perhaps in an ML framework – to look at people, properties and places to make more reliable estimates
• Future work will – Look at position as of April 2001 using multivariate
approaches as above– Consider changes through time from 2001
onwards
Future analysis• Future work will– Update the analysis using 2011 data – have
structural social changes 2001-2011 made the population easier or harder to capture by the healthcard system?
– Seek to add information on institutional factors (eg NILS members grouping in GP practices)
– Try to transfer the NI experience to England & Wales and Scotland – what might be expected given the housing and demographic profile of localities in Britain?
