Economic and Demographic Analysis
Our economic and demographic analyses provide clients and policy makers with an understanding of the factors that are critical for the success of a project, the competitiveness of a region, or a comprehensive measure of the economic impact a set of activities have on a region.
Our models, methodologies, assumptions, and data are based on established economic theory and best practices.
We present our results in clear, direct language that, to the extent possible, avoids economic jargon. The authority of our work will always be based on our analytical integrity and the use of best practices for data sources and data handling—rather than obfuscating results in technical language.
Economic impact analysis
An economic impact analysis captures the full effect from a potential or ongoing economic activity on a region’s economy. Because these analyses include the full economic return to a region, they are often used to clarify both the costs and benefits of public investments.
Project feasibility
We apply structured modeling approaches, including cost-benefit and best use analyses, gravity modeling, and fiscal impact analysis to provide decisive insights.
Economic benchmarking
A benchmarking analysis identifies the strengths and weaknesses that shape your competitive advantage. Our benchmarking studies provide clarity in planning goals and policy by identifying a comparable group and a set of critical measures.
Regional profiles
Regional profiles explore demographic and economic metrics in detail and provide a valuable perspective into the factors that shape a region’s competitiveness. Our regional profiles also provide important data for regionally unique sustainable development strategies.

Benchmarking Primer and Roadmap for Local Government
Benchmarking is the process of measuring and then comparing a building’s energy performance against itself, modeled buildings, or comparable buildings, thereby allowing building owners to identify savings. In this report, we introduce local governments to benchmarking concepts, tools, and approaches to manage expenses while detailing the local economic benefits and job creation potential of energy efficiency programs.
Grafton Tourism Assessment
We explored opportunities for expanding recreation-based tourism in the Grafton area. Our report includes a market analysis for recreation-based tourism, an assessment of Grafton’s existing tourism infrastructure, recommendations to help Grafton and Taylor County attract more visitors to its downtown, and an inventory and prioritization of brownfield properties for redevelopment.
