.. examine county-to-county migration by origin and destination county .. integrate with other data .. use the Demographic-Economic Data Explorer (DEDE) API Tool - your resource to access multi-sourced demographic-economic data. Create custom multi-sourced data datasets for use with your software; integrate directly into shapefiles or with other file structures. Create custom multi-sourced demographic-economic profiles to share with stakeholders. Examples: Fresno County, CA ... Monterey County, CA ... San Diego County, CA
Los Angeles County, CA ... Orange County, CA ... Harris County, TX ... Sedgwick County, KS
Orange County, FL ... Maricopa County, AZ ... Cook County, IL


The World in Constant Change .. goto top
The world is in constant change. Keeping up with knowing about the where, what, how and how much of change is and might occur can be challenging. "Knowing" is important for many reasons from understanding opportunities that may exist to learning how change might impact us. Visual analysis using interactive mapping is often the most effective and fastest way to answer many types of geodemographic questions. Communicating and collaborating with others can produce better results using maps than using tabular data alone.
