Demographics
Demographics are integral to economic development planning representing the assets of human capacity within a community. Demographics can also lead to key questions around equity in economic development. To learn more about building equity into economic development efforts, review the Access, Process, and Outcomes Framework for Equity in Economic Development.

Demographics are integral to economic development planning representing the assets of human capacity within a community. Demographics can also lead to key questions around equity in economic development. Assessing your region's access, process, and outcomes around equity and demographics is important.
County Economic and Fiscal Trends
To determine local economic strength and vulnerability, we use the County Economic Performance Index (CEPI) and Local Government Revenue Vulnerability Index (LGRVI). These two metrics estimate monthly changes relative to a user selected baseline. That baseline could be February 2017 to encapsulate our full suite of data, January 2020 to look at changes compared to just before the COVID19 pandemic, or can be selected to compare to a locally significant period of time like a disaster or major local investment.
Revenues included in both indices include: taxes on products and sales, transportation and housing revenues, individual income taxes, severance taxes and royalties, and property taxes. Local government revenues also include a local revenue from state revenue sharing component. In addition, the main index for the LGRVI for county-level governments includes revenue estimates for sub-county government units, including municipalities, school districts, and special districts. This revenue data is aggregated to produce the indices. Find a description of the methodology, including how estimates for each revenue source were produced, is available here.

Widespread industry trends and evaluation of trends in a local area can provide insight to channeling resources to sectors across a local economy.
Location Quotients
Location Quotient (LQ) is a measure of industry concentration as a ratio compared to the distribution of those fields in that industry nationally. If an LQ value is above 1.0, then it indicates that the industry makes up a greater share locally than it does nationally.
This section shows the top eight industries within the county by their associated LQ value. In addition, it shows the annual average rate of change for the past five years for the top 8 industries. Industries with a rate of change that is between -.025 and .025 are considered stable. Industries with a negative rate of change that exceeds -.025 are classified as declining. Industries with a positive rate of change that exceeds .025 are classified as growing.
