Income DQ Report

This report checks data quality for the income subassessment information, as well as how the income subassessment data relate to the main Income from Any Source question. Income data is critical for general data quality and for, for CoC-funded projects, accurate submissions for the System Performance Measures (SPMs) federal report. This Income DQ Report can be used to help your agency monitor your data quality on these data elements.

Using the Report

This report has 5 tabs, each serving a specific purpose.

Summary

There are three tables on this tab showing the number and percent of income errors at project start, annual assessments, and project exit. The error types are:

  • YN: The number of entries where the main Income from Any Source question is anything but Yes or No.
  • Incomplete Records: The number of entries where there is at least one income record missing (e.g., no record for 'SSI") or the Receiving Income Source question is 'Data not collected'.
  • Duplicate Records: The number of entries where there is at lease one income source with multiple active records. For example, if there are two records for Earned Income with start and end dates that overlap. 
  • Compatibility: The number of entries where there is inconsistency between the main Income from Any Source question and the subassesment information. That is, if Income from Any Source is Yes, but there are no income subassessment records where Receiving Income Source is Yes OR if  Income from Any Source is No, but there is at least one income subassessment records where Receiving Income Source is Yes.
  • Reporting Range (for Annual Assessments only): The number of annual assessments where the timing is outside of the annual assessment window (30 days +/- the anniversary date of the head of household).

Any error type with a % Error Rate > 5% will be highlighted red.
