Good afternoon!

In this example, what tool/model can be used to: 1.synthesize households&jobs and 2. assign building_id to synthesized datasets? Thanks!

For quick and dirty work you might want to look at

@fscottfoti It looks great. Thanks! Is there any similar tool in Python?

fscottfoti commented 9 years ago

We started on a similar tool here but haven't officially released it. Generally it does the census stuff well, but doesn't support the assignment to buildings or anything like that. It's somewhat under-documented at this time as well.

Got it. Have tried the synthpop tool and it worked well (one URL for FIPS might need to be updated) Look forward to your next release! Thanks!
