Estimated Targetable IDs
When building audiences with our granular DMA® Geography data, you'll notice that you will not see a projected adult online population number, but estimated targetable IDs. In this case, the estimated targetable IDs are the number of IDs that represent your audience.
Since the DMA Geography data is observed and based on location, and this data is not weighted to be representative of the U.S. adult online population, we cannot provide a projected count of how many people are in each geographic area.
Projected Adult Population
You will, however, see a projected adult online population number when building audiences using Region or State from our Resonate Elements data. This is because the Region and State data originate from our survey data, which we weight to be representative of the U.S. adult online population. The above number for the Atlanta DMA®* is based on our observed geography location data, which we do not weight.
Important Note
It's important to note that the DMA® level data will not match up with the State and Region data. The reason for this is because we are using two data sources; one data source for State and Region (our research data from our National Consumer Study) that is representative of the adult online population and another data source for DMA® (our observed online behavioral data) that is observed.
