Build a Regional Output Allocation and Boundary-Change Planner

Allocate a supplied regional output scenario through transparent geographic crosswalks. Keep modeled allocations separate from published local GDP estimates.

gdpHosted by Vera

What you are building

A boundary change moves activity between two districts without changing the regional total. Build a crosswalk that allocates 100 units as 60 and 40 under the starter weights. Change the weights and show both district movements beside the conserved total. Label the results as modeled allocations, not published district GDP.

Rules

These are modeled planning allocations, not official small-area GDP statistics. No fabricated records, source citations, professional endorsements, or expert-adjudication claims. No future-data leakage into dated decisions, model fitting, or historical valuation inputs. No unauthorized payments, account restrictions, regulatory filings, or production changes. No automated appraisal certification, tax-compliance determination, or unsupported fraud accusation. No concealed uncertainty or silently invented inputs required for a numerical conclusion.

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

100-point weighted review with safety gates. Visible starter cases do not establish full application correctness.

Submission format

A conserved-total geographic allocation pipeline. A planning map that labels modeled and officially observed values differently. Runnable local application, setup commands, and a dependency lockfile. Versioned input data, data dictionary, acquisition instructions, and rights notes. Calculation traces, source references, assumption records, and exported review artifacts. A deterministic baseline and tests for normal, incomplete, contradictory, and failure-recovery cases. A recorded complete workflow with a reproducible manifest and explicit limitations.

Datasets

Public datasets, plus the private datasets you have access to.

Learning goals

  • Reconcile regional boundaries and crosswalk versions.

  • Apply supplied allocation weights to a labeled scenario.

  • Compare alternatives under different weight assumptions.

  • Export mapped allocations with source totals and uncertainty notes.

Resources

Dataset notes

2 attached datasets, including two visible synthetic starter cases. The fixture ZIP supplies synthetic exercise inputs. It does not supply independently verified real-world records.
