- Attribute_Accuracy:
-
- Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
- Attribution of the point locations with the community name is 100% accurate. However, it is important to note that the spelling of the community names may vary, and some communities may have alternate names
- Logical_Consistency_Report: Point topology exists.
- Completeness_Report: Additional communities may be added as needed.
- Positional_Accuracy:
-
- Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
-
- Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
- Points are within 10 meters of their true location. Each point represents the center of its community, the location of which was subjectively chosen by the field worker.
