High-fidelity pattern of life (PoL) models require realistic origin points for predictive trip modeling. This paper develops and demonstrates a reproducible method using open data to match synthetic populations generated from census surveys to plausible residential locations (building footprints) based on housing attributes. This approach presents promise over extant methods based on housing density, particularly in small neighborhood areas with heterogeneous land-use.
