How will the size of the employable population in specified age ranges change over selected sets of years? Use the new Proximity county single year of age population estimates/projections to roll up the single year of age data to age cohort of interest to you. The Win32 integrated software and database Modeler enables the development of the estimates and projections under a "scenario 1" and enables the user to modify model specification and assumptions. Modeler is used to develop the national scale single year of age population estimates and projections by county. The companion Viewer software is used with the national or area subset estimates and projections to view and analyze the data. Both Modeler and Viewer have integrated mapping/GIS components.
