In addition to comparing Arlington to individual municipalities, this plan compares Arlington to the comparison
region as a whole in some instances. In those cases, aggregated statistics for the comparison region were
calculated by summing the counts of a given statistic (for example, the number of people identifying as Latino)
for each municipality in the comparison region and dividing that sum by the region total of the relevant
denominator (in this example, the total population). The margins of error for the aggregations were calculated
based on instructions from the Census Bureau.
This aggregated statistic is an important addition to the analysis because it reflects what representation would
look like provided an even distribution of all populations across the region, rather than how each municipality
ranks relative to one another. Because the aggregated statistic accounts for an entire population in the region
without considering municipal borders, any discrepancy between this figure and individual municipal statistics
indicates some level of spatial segregation. It is important to note, however, that the aggregated statistic is still a
product of the municipalities selected for the comparison region; including additional municipalities or excluding
others would shift its value.
