Argonne created a series of indices, analyses, and maps that provide a snapshot of socio-economic strengths, weaknesses, threats and opportunities. These snapshots can provide direction to Economic Developers across the country to better understand their current landscape and plan ahead for future scenarios. Here, we consolidate methodology reports for each of these tools to help communities take full advantage of each snapshot. If you have any questions about methodology or how to interpret any of these tools please contact [email protected].
