Assessing Impact of Changing Demographic Patterns by County & Region
March 2010 ... new Census Bureau 2009 official county and metro population estimates will be used to update the interactive ranking table presented below and related Web pages and datasets in late March. These county level national scope data provide estimates of the total population and components of change -- births, deaths and migration. Among many other uses, they will help identify county, regional and sub-state areas experiencing decreasing births. See state birth patterns. Amid the uncertainty in many regions and parts of the economy, add clarity to what is happening now, where and as events change ... use the Proximity monthly county demographic-economic updates and projections. As important as the most current estimates are, insights provided by these data can help you stay ahead of what historical data are telling us. Projections to 2020 Proximity develops county-level current demographic estimates and annual demographic projections to 2020. Updated monthly, and knitted together with monthly labor force and employment data, these estimates and projections provide a continuously refreshed view of what is changing, where and by how much.

See related Ranking Tables Main Page; see related similar ranking table for metros Examining Patterns; Gaining Insights Views of county-level demographic change in the plains states from 1940 to 2010 illustrate the impact of changing demographics. How might changing demographic patterns impact you? How will changing migration, household formation, and economic prosperity create radically different scenarios by 2020? ... and where? While we cannot know exactly how demographics will change, we can develop projections of alternative, most likely, scenarios. Proximity tools, data and methodologies can help users gain improved insights into how county and regional demographics are changing and how the change will manifest itself over the next several years. • current estimates and projections to 2020 provide into future change. • Link these data and anlaytical tools with your own data. • Use the Modeler software and database to examine alternative future what-if scenarios. • Use the CommunityViewer GIS to visualize demographic trends in a mapping context. 
Using GIS to Visualize Demographic Patterns & TrendsCreate analytical views such as the one shown here to meet your needs. Use the CommunityViewer GIS software to view demographic pattern maps and perform geospatial analyses immediately. Very little learning; immediate results with no third party resources or expense. Integrate your own data. See related map views illustrating wide-ranging visual analysis of demographic patterns and trends in the Applications Gallery. Estimates & Projections Calendar Census Bureau county level estimates for July 1 of the previous year (e.g., 2008) typically become available in March of the following year (e.g., March 2009). Development/release of these estimates is part of a demographic estimates program annual calendar starting with state level estimates in January. Proximity uses the Census Bureau official estimates to develop more current estimate and annual projections to 2020. Proximity annual estimates and projection updates are linked with Census Bureau estimates release dates. The Proximity Modeler software is used to progressively develop/update county projections throughout the year. Proximity develops 'most likely scenario' projections under a certain set of assumptions. Others may also use the Modeler software and datasets to apply their own assumptions and develop alternative scenario projections. Some key dates are summarized in the following table.
Custom Estimates/Projections and Additional Information Proximity develops geodemographic data and analytical tools and helps organizations knit together and use diverse data in a decision-making and analytical framework. We develop custom demographic/economic estimates and projections, develop geographic and geocoded address files, and assist with impact and geospatial analyses. Wide-ranging organizations use our tools (software, data, methodologies) to analyze their own data integrated with other data. Contact Proximity (888-364-7656) with questions about data covered in this section or to discuss custom estimates, projections or analyses for your areas of interest. |
