Title
LUV-it FAZ Summaries [Washington (State)--Puget Sound Region] {2023}
Description
PSRC develops policy directed growth projections intended for use in regional travel modeling and other planning analyses, known as the Land Use Vision (LUV) forecast product. The latest version is being called the Land Use Vision - Implemented Targets (LUV-it). The key inputs to LUV-it are the VISION 2050 Regional Growth Strategy (RGS) and the countywide growth targets for 2044, developed to implement the RGS. Using these inputs, PSRC staff establish jurisdiction-level control totals of population, households, and employment which are then allocated within each jurisdiction using PSRCs UrbanSim land use model. PSRCs methodology acknowledged differences in how each county represented and translated the 2017-50 RGS growth allocations to 2044 growth targets. While the adopted 2044 growth targets are significantly more aligned with the VISION 2050 RGS than previous iterations, some geographies show higher or lower growth than otherwise indicated by the RGS allocations. Where there are discrepancies, the forecast product reflects the growth trajectory established by the 2044 target to support comprehensive plan update modeling. LUV-it is a data product only and does not endorse countywide growth targets as consistent with VISION 2050. https://www.psrc.org/projections-cities-and-other-places

The UrbanSim model’s structure, function, and data outputs are similar to previous versions of the LUV forecast product which have been reviewed by PSRC staff and external technical planning staff from PSRC member jurisdictions. Additional development of the updated 2018 data inputs and methodology to develop control totals from adopted growth targets were also reviewed with the PSRC Land Use Technical Advisory Committee. Users should note the following: 1) Urban boundaries represent 1/1/2022 jurisdictional boundaries. 2) Tract estimates may not match OFM or Census estimates for tracts due to slight boundary alignment issues when processing spatial data using GIS. 3) Year 2020 outputs have been controlled to acutal estimates at the County, City, Target, and Control geographies (see below for definitions). 4) Employment Estimates represent total employment, incorporating estimates of jobs not in Covered Employment data by derived from ACS estimates to additional jobs. 5) Please note that totals summed to county and the region will vary slighty depending on the reporting geography. The reason is due to some misalignment between GIS shapefile used to overlay parcels and aggregate the model outputs. For example, along the county border a line of 4 parcels might geographically fall into PIerce County when using the "county" GIS shapefile, but be assigned to a tract in King County when using the Census GIS shapefiles. These differences are minor - at most 400 people at the county level - and therefore should have not have any measurable impact on the use of the LUV-it projections in models and other analysis.
