The use of data in economic development is important because it assists a community in "taking stock" and understanding its current situation across several different areas of economic and demographic performance. However, data alone do not lead to a well-founded understanding of the community. Data must be analyzed and interpreted, taking into account the intuition of those within the community about what the overall trends really mean. In other words, data serve as the foundation for an analysis which includes: 1) what is happening in the community relative to other regions over time, and 2) what potential impacts or consequences can be inferred from the data. This report looks at the following key demographic and economic variables: population, employment, earnings and income, retail, agriculture, and education.
