About ProximityOne
Contents
ProximityOne is not a government statistical agency, but it plays an important role in making government data more accessible and useful. They do this by:
| • | Aggregating and Restructuring Data: ProximityOne takes raw data from various sources, particularly from the U.S. Federal Statistical System (e.g., Census Bureau, Bureau of Labor Statistics), and reorganizes it into a more usable format for analysis. |
| • | Developing Analytical Tools: The company offers software and APIs that allow users to access, analyze, and visualize data. This includes GIS (Geographic Information System) tools for mapping and geospatial analysis. |
| • | Providing Custom Estimates and Projections: ProximityOne develops its own demographic and economic estimates and projections, often at a very granular level (e.g., by ZIP code, census tract, or even block group), to help clients understand current situations and forecast future trends. |
| • | Consulting and Advisory Services: They provide services such as custom studies, geocoding (converting addresses to latitude/longitude coordinates), and strategic planning support. |
ProximityOne acts as an intermediary, taking complex public data and packaging it with its own products and services to create more accessible and powerful tools for data-driven decision-making.
