What's New & Ahead

... 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 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.

The S&O database is comprised of demographic-economic historical data and estimates and projections, updated quarterly, for the U.S., states, metropolitan areas, counties, school districts, cities and census tracts.

S&O Server
Use the no fee, no registration S&O Server to access Census 2010 Summary File 1 and American Community Survey 2010 5-year (ACS 2010 5-year estimates) Summary File data ... down to the census block and block group level. S&O subscribers can also use the S&O Server to access/analyze S&O demographic-economic estimates and projections. The S&O Server makes use of API queries to access only the data you need ... down to the census block and block group levels of geography.

Methodology
ProximityOne demographic-economic estimates and projections are developed using holistic demographic-economic models. Annual time series simultaneous equation models are used that specify cause and effect relationships among jointly dependent variables. Model estimation uses the most recent official current/historical data and estimates. Model specifications, including assumptions, are set to reflect regional variations and new developments that evolve.

Development of ProximityOne estimates and projections make use of Census Bureau data from Census 2010, annual American Community Survey and annual county and sub-county population estimates (Federal-State Coop Program for Population Estimates - FSCP) and related FSCP components of change data (births, deaths, migration). ProximityOne estimates and projections are not "control adjusted" to agree with the FSCP estimates. Other wide-ranging data are used in the models including data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, Department of Education, Health & Human Services and Bureau of Labor Statistics - among others.

In general, three sets of estimates and projections are developed for Outlook 2030 and Outlook 2060 reflecting three scenarios: conservative, most likely and expansive. Each scenario reflects different assumptions. Only the most likely estimates and projections are released. The more convervative, expansive and alternative scenario estimates and projections, producing bands, can be developed by using the Modeler software.

About ProximityOne
ProximityOne develops geographic-demographic-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.
