Description:
Abstract:
The house points coverage was created as part of the Tijuana River Watershed GIS database project. It includes house counts and population counts for both the United States and Mexican portions of the Watershed.
Purpose:
The Tijuana River Watershed GIS Database project provides a fully integrated cross border geographic information system. The house points coverage adds important population distribution information to the database.

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
All attributes created during the data generation phase were verified by comparing the points in both the dataset and the spatial coverage, but no formal tests were performed.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
These data are believed to be logically consistent, though no tests were performed.
Completeness_Report:
These data are believed to represent the number of houses and the population count in the approximate vicinity of the point locations. The points were not based on any legal grounds; therefore, the points represent a research entity and not a legal entity.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The horizontal positional accuracy cannot be quantified for these data. Some points, such as for the US side, were created as centroids of polygons, and thus may not accurately portray locations of houses. The accuracy is assumed to be acceptable for cartographic production.
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The vertical positional accuracy cannot be quantified for these data. Some points, such as for the US side, were created as centroids of polygons, and thus may not accurately portray locations of houses. The accuracy is assumed to be acceptable for cartographic production.

While these data have been collected for use in spatial analysis and decision making, and for use in Geographic Information Systems, San Diego State University, Department of Geography, the Center for Earth Systems Analysis Research, and El Colegio de la Frontera Norte cannot guarantee the accuracy of the data. As with any spatial data, issues of scale, taxonomic classification, resolution, and precision will affect the perceived accuracy of the data. Users are ultimately responsible for the appropriate application of and use of these data.
