Distribution of objects in the CAMD after removing the (dominant subset of) presumably spurious objects, by requiring an astrometric fidelity of p_af > 0.9 from Rybizki et al. (2021). This cut, cast as ﹩{S}_{{ \mathcal C }}^{\mathrm{data}\,\mathrm{quality}}({p}_{\mathrm{af}}| {\boldsymbol{q}})﹩, eliminates most spurious sources but leaves ≥95% of the spectroscopically confirmed WDs with G < 19.5 unaffected.
