... 7 Analysis of Response Rates Table 3 and Table 4 show the response rates obtained for each airport community for the mail and telephone surveys, respectively. The denominator used for each response rate is the number of addresses selected for the sample minus the postal non-deliverables (PNDs)

Some of these numbers were later discovered to be invalid, and those addresses were subsequently mailed a screener requesting the telephone number.

... 7.1 Comparison of Sample with Population Demographic Quantities Demographic information was available from the 2010 Census for the census blocks containing the sampled households from each airport. The DNL noise strata used for sampling have irregular shapes because of the different noise exposures for households in the landing, takeoff, and sideline areas.

... Census. The results from the model are consistent with the analyses presented above: households sent the mail survey are much more likely to respond to the survey, after accounting for all other variables.
