Using both origin and destination locations #103

Hello! I am wondering if there is a way to incorporate both the origin and destination locations for those who move from one year to the next when imputing race rather than using just one geolocation. I can work around this by predicting race using origin location and destination location and then averaging their predictions, but this doesn't seem like the best way.

That's an interesting question but we don't currently have data or methods to incorporate such information.
