Model Outputs

1 Overview

The Cohort Component model outputs three core datasets; the Population/Households/Group Quarters information, the Rates used to increment the Population and create Households/Group Quarters information, and the Components of Change. These individual datasets are described below.

3 Storage Location

Output files for each increment year from base to horizon are written to the output folder as csv files; population.csv, rates.csv, and components.csv.
