Release status, source chain, and modeling boundaries

Every dossier declares what is published, where the data comes from, and where modeled geography stops short of observed individual behavior.

Source chain
  • Footprint source: ACS 2024 ancestry fields from demographics_ancestry.
  • Politics source window: presidential model output spanning 2000 through 2024 from the latest completed ancestry_vote_estimates run.
  • Release policy: public-release dossiers are indexed; experimental dossiers remain labeled and excluded from search indexing.
  • Interpretation: modeled political geography, not observed individual vote behavior.

  • County candidates come from the top 250 counties ranked by footprint share inside this dossier.
  • Actual context is the 2024 presidential margin for each county, computed as (Dem - Rep) / total votes * 100.
  • Modeled baseline is the latest published ancestry-model national Democratic margin for this group.
  • Residual = county actual margin minus the modeled baseline; rows rank by absolute residual with footprint share as the tiebreaker.
  • This module describes modeled geography versus county election results, not individual behavior.

Method and export

Methodology and exports

Public notes on source tables, measurement scope, modeling boundaries, and exportability.
  • Ancestry footprint metrics use ACS 2024 source columns mapped from the canonical ancestry taxonomy.
  • Public geography tables rank states and counties by share of total population reporting the ancestry.
  • State and national ancestry shares are weighted from county populations whenever a direct aggregate row is unavailable.
  • Political timelines use the latest completed ancestry model run and surface model version plus confidence labels directly.
  • Indexed public-release dossiers remain search-visible; experimental dossiers stay public in the atlas but noindex until promoted.
  • These pages describe modeled voting patterns, not direct measures of individual behavior.
