It says nothing about the process by which a Master Wheel is reduced to the subset of qualified jurors contained in the Qualified Wheel. Because the \"systematic defect\" alleged by the defendant relates to the Master Jury Wheel, the White Plains Master Jury Wheel is the appropriate \"relevant jury pool.\" Rioux, 930 F. Supp. at 1566-68.\nAlthough the Master Jury Wheel does not include reliable information regarding the race and ethnicity of the individuals selected from voter registration lists, the racial and ethnic makeup of the White Plains Master Jury Wheel can be estimated using geocoding and Bayesian Improved Surname Geocoding (\"BISG\").69 Taking into account those estimates, the White Plains Master Wheel is 11.20% Black or African-American and 12.97% Hispanic or Latino. (Siskin Aff. at ¶ 28). By contrast, the White Plains Qualified Wheel is 8.76% Black or African-American and 10.48% Hispanic or Latino. (Id. at ¶ 17).\nThe community population for purposes of assessing representativeness is the population eligible for jury service in the community. See, e.g., Taylor v. Louisiana, 419 U.S. 522, 524 (1975) (focusing on population eligible for jury service); Rioux, 97 F.3d at 657 (\"We conclude that the appropriate measure in this case is the eighteen and older subset of the population . . .\"). But how should the relevant \"community\" be defined?

Siskin, which was prepared for the Government in Balde. As detailed Dr. Skiskin's report, geocoding is based on estimating the proportion of persons who are of a given race or ethnicity based on the racial and ethnic area in which they live.
