"other property type income"

In including "other property type income" as part of value-added, is there a concern that some recipients of "other property type income" may reside out of the analysis area (e.g., out of state)? Does Implan include any information on the location of recipients of "other property type income"? That is, if some recipients of "other property type income" are outside the area of analysis, results for the area of analysis will be too high. Any information or guidance on this question is appreciated. -- Mike Walden
