... the ProximityOne User Group is a program designed to provide like-minded people of all skill levels with a way to keep up-to-date with new developments relating to geographic, demographic and economic data -- and methods and tools to put those data to work. Extend your scope of resources and advance your capabilities to learn about, access, integrate and analyze disparate data resources. Receive updates and access to tools and resources available only to members.

American Community Survey (ACS) 2022 5-year estimates/data are available as of December 12, 2023). See ACS2022 for more information. Curated datasets, interactive table and GIS tools facilitating use of these data are now available.

The Visual Data Analytics (VDA) Web GIS is being updated with these and related demographic-economic data ... start using VDA for demographic-economic mapping and geospatial analysis ranging from global by country to U.S. with extended geostatistical drill down.

Geographic Files .. goto top

Equivalence Files
Equivalence files relate one type of geography (A) to another type of geography (B).
.. these files contain one record for each intersecting geography A with geography B.
.. the record provides A geocode, area; B geocode, area; and intersecting A-B area
.. use the VDA GIS Tools>Intersect feature to develop your own equivalence files.
    for example to assign tract codes to your address-based data.

Weekly Web Sessions .. goto top
Some topics are more effectively communicated by seeing/viewing software in action and being able to ask questions about operations or specific data structures. Weekly Web-based lab sessions are normally conducted at 3:00 p.m. on Tuesdays. Connectively details and related information are provided at Web session details.

These sessions are focused on ... how to improve our ability to understand where we are ... and where we are going? How can we use data to better understand patterns, where and how change will occur ... and how change will impact us? Have we got the best data to answer the right questions? The sessions also offer an open structure/support (see below) and discussion forum with like-minded users.

Situation & Outlook Blog .. goto top
The Situation & Outlook Blog is focused on the development, integration and use of geographic-demographic-economic data to help stakeholders better understand where we are now; the what, when and where things will change in the future; and how change might impact us.

Additional Information .. goto top
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 software, data and methodologies to analyze their own data integrated with other data. Follow ProximityOne on Twitter at www.twitter.com/proximityone. Contact ProximityOne (888-364-7656) with questions about data covered in this section or to discuss custom estimates, projections or analyses for your areas of interest.
