Sample View help for Sample
The survey was based on a random sample of households in Knox, Blount, Anderson, Jefferson, Loudon, Roane, Sevier, and Union counties. A socioeconomic stratification was used to define the sample of households to ensure that the study captured the diversity of the population according to specific factors affecting travel behavior in the eight-county region. The survey employed a probability sample to select households for participation. A disproportionate stratified sampling process was used to distribute the required 1,400 surveys among individual stratum in order to maximize statistical reliability. The sample was stratified by household size and employment status of household members.
