Puerto Rico Demographic Economic Characteristics & Trends
  -- tools & data to analyze neighborhood level demographics & change

April 2019 .. tools and data to visually and geospatially analyze demographic-economic characteristics and trends in Puerto Rico. Use the ProximityOne CV XE GIS software and related 2019 GIS project and data resources to examine patterns and assess conditions. Use the interactive table below to view, rank, compare measures like economic prosperity at the neighborhood/census tract level.

The impact of Hurricane Maria extends to some of the most current and historical data about Puerto Rico. Data presented here make use of some of those data. Looking ahead, we assemble and integrate new data for 2018/2019 and develop projections. Progressively these data will be used in models that can estimate/project the impact of alternative policy tools, assumptions and related developments. In May 2019, we introduce new Puerto Rico by municipio annual population estimates and components of change for the period 2010 through 2018, that will be used to develop projections. Relevant and consumable data are essential to help businesses grow, improve educational opportunities and better plan and operate government. See more below.

Examining Attributes of a Selected Census Tract .. goto top
.. using CV XE GIS search/zoom feature, tract 72127010002 is located as shown in graphic below.
.. this tract is also used as the example in the interactive table below.
.. tracts are labeled with the tract code (yellow) and median household income (white).
.. the detailed intersection to intersection roads layer is shown.
.. the identify tool (see pointer) is used to display attributes of a selected road segment.
.. the mini-profile displays attributes of the road segment based on the TIGER/Line files.


Using Census Block and Block Group Geodemographics .. goto top
Puerto Rico, and the U.S. overall, are covered wall-to-wall with the low-level statistical geography of census blocks and block groups. These geographies nest within, and are coterminous with, census tracts. These relationships are shown in the graphic below; tracts: blue boundary, block groups: red boundary, blocks: black boundary. The identify tool (at pointer) is used to show mini-profile for block 72-127-010002-1004. Census block level data are available only from the decennial census/Census 2010; Block group level data are available from Census 2010, American Community Survey ... or aggregate your own data to these geographies.

Establishments, Employment & Wages by Municipio .. goto top
How did the number of establishments in the information sector in the San Juan Municipio change from 2017Q1 to 2018Q3? Employment? Wages? How does that compare to other sectors, to other municipios and the Commonwealth overall? How might this change into 2020? How might this change impact you? What policy tools might be used to augment economic activity by sector and/or municipio?

Answering these types of questions ... ProximityOne develops economic time series by municipio containing historical (based on data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics) and projected (developed by ProximityOne) quarterly data, updated/extended quarterly. The data are developed for all municipios and include the number of establishments, employment and average weekly wages by type of business (up to 6-digit detail NAICS category). Use ProximityOne models to examine what-if questions and alternative scenario projections.

Examine business establishment patterns and trends for San Juan Municipio ... view this illustrative XLS file. This file contains a record/row for each type of business and each type of owner (e.g., private sector versus government) for the municipio; the time series values run across the columns. See the column/field descriptions list below.

Compare, for example that as of 2017Q1 total private establishments numbered 10,547 with employment of 177,749 and average weekly wages of $583 (line 285) compared with 2018Q3 10,492 total private establishments, 178,481 employment and $586. These data update in June 2019. There is a approximate 6 month lag between the release of the data from the reference date to the data access date.

The Power of Relevant and Consumable Data .. goto top
With the destructive consequences of Hurricane Maria, many buildings and infrastructure have been lost. Rebuilding has been delayed for many reasons. Some statistical programs have been abandoned. The Commonwealth had previously participated in the Census building permits program. These data give insights into where, when and what type of construction is occurring. There are no Census/Commonwealth building permits data for 2017, 2018 and now 2019. Without these data, it becomes more difficult to know the current situation and how/where things are changing.
