Objective

This Project:

For the Dallas / Fort Worth 11-county region, create block-group level estimates as of
January 1, 2005 of:
  • Counts of Housing Units
  • Counts of Households
  • Population
…for the Greater Dallas Chamber.


The Greater Dallas Chamber's Ultimate Objective:

This project is the first step in the Greater Dallas Chamber's ultimate objective, which is to create block group-level estimates of the 2005 Labor Market, for their database.  The Chamber currently provides 2000 Labor Market estimates, and is working to update them to 2005.

Following is an example of the database their website has aggregated, for areas within a 5 mile radius*:

Example from labor market

This interface provides estimates of the labor market for 150 occupations, for a 5, 10 or 15 mile radius of any location within the Dallas / Fort Worth region. 

This second objective is beyond the scope of this project.
