Mark,
The jobs are separated into industrial, commercial, home-based and
scaling (i.e. governmental) type according to their building type. In
your case:
152317 + 152442 + 73647 + 151697 = 530103
This corresponds to the number of movers that the relocation model
determines.
Within these four models the jobs are processed in sub-models which are
determined by their sector ids. (The Scaling Job Model does not have
sub-models but is also processed by sectors.)
The Distribute Unplaced Jobs Model then takes all jobs that are still
unplaced after running those four models and places them according to
the current distribution of jobs by sector.
If you get 228799 unplaced jobs it can be for two reasons:
1. There is not enough capacity (you should be able to find out from the
log file)
2. Your specification does not include all sub-models. For example, if
your specification for commercial ELCM contains sub-models 1,2, and 3,
but there are commercial jobs of sectors 4 and 5, those jobs would not
be considered by any of the ELCMs, neither by the scaling jobs model -
they would be located by the Distribute Unplaced Jobs Model. But they
would be included in the sum of the 'total number of individuals' in the
commercial ELCM.
Does it help?
