... knowing more about the current situation & opportunities,
... the how, when and where ... what will change and by how much,
... and how change might impact you.

The U.S. population ages 65 and over is expected to more than double between now and 2060, from 43.5 million to 92.0 million.
  • How will this, and other age groups, be distributed by state and metro?
  • How will this, and other labor force groups, be distributed by state and metro?
  • How do different geographies synch?
  • How might your organization, revenues, market and other entities be impacted?
Find out more about these topics and related demographic-economic trends.

The ProximityOne Situation & Outlook (S&O) Program is a combined database and interpretive resource that you can use to better understand the existing situation, find out how area demographic-economic conditions are changing, and assess how changing conditions might impact you.

6. Up to 4-digit (selected) NAICS sector/level projections

7. Individual company projections

Estimates and projections developed for 6 and 7 are ad hoc/custom.
Estimates and projections are developed using the ProximityOne Modeler software.
Model specifications use cause and effect time series simultaneous equations.

Generic County Model ... scroll section .. goto top
Selected equations illustrate structure of the simultaneous equation model. A generic county level model is used but has some specification differences from county to county. The generic county model makes use of the population identity equation:

P[i,a,g,r,t] = P[i,a,g,r,t-1] + B[i,a,g,r,t] - D[i,a,g,r,t] + MD[i,a,g,r,t] +MI[i,a,g,r,t]
  for the ith geographic area; a: age (0, 1, 2, ... 100, 100+); g: gender; r: race/origin; t: year
  total population for any single area, gender, race/origin, year determined by summing over age (a).

Births: B[i,a,g,r,t] determined by fertility rates; where B[i,a,g,r,t] =0 for a>=1 (births only in age 0 cohort)
Deaths: D[i,a,g,r,t] determined by mortality rates
Domestic Migration: MD[i,a,g,r,t] = f1(MD explanatory variables)
International Migration: MI[i,a,g,r,t] = f2(MI explanatory variables)

Race/origin categories include, but not limited to:
Total population
  One race alone
    White alone
    Black alone
    American Indian/Alaska Native alone
    Asian alone
    Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander alone
    Other Race alone
  Two or More Races
  Hispanic/Latino population (any race)

Other identities and cause and effect equations are included in the SEM to determine behavior/values of other items summarized in lists shown below. Examples:
  Employment: E004[i,a,g,r,t] = f_e004(E004 explanatory variables)
  School Enrollment: S052[i,g,r,t] = f1_s052(S052 explanatory variables)
  Educational Attainment, High School Graduate : S061[i,g,r,t] = f_s061(S061 explanatory variables)
  Households with Income $100,000 to $149,999: E059[i,a,t] = f_e059(E059 explanatory variables)
  Vacant Housing Units: H003[i,a,t] = f_h003(H003 explanatory variables)
  Owner Occupied Housing Units: H045[i,a,t] = f_h045(H045 explanatory variables)


Data Access. Groups 1-5 above. Standard estimates and projections by ProximityOne are synergistically developed and released quarterly. As applicable, estimates and projections are aggregated to higher level geography (e.g., states and the U.S.) An independent U.S. and state model is run synergistically with data groups 1-5.

A primary data access option is to download datasets as released.
Data access modules may be downloaded for geographic coverage: U.S., state, county

Users can run the Modeler software on their own computer using the historical database. Additional or variations on model specifications and assumptions can be set/managed by the user.

Data are accessible on release day via VDAGIS tools

Support Using these Resources .. goto top
Learn more about accessing and using demographic-economic data and related analytical tools. Join us in a Data Analytics Lab session. There is no fee for these one-hour Web sessions. Each informal session is focused on a specific topic. The open structure also provides for Q&A and discussion of application issues of interest to participants.

Additional Information
ProximityOne develops geodemographic-economic 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 us (888-364-7656) with questions about data covered in this section or to discuss custom estimates, projections or analyses for your areas of interest.
