Economic Indicators Mapping Project Print E-mail

The Economic Indicator Mapping Project is designed to enhance the economic competitiveness of regional development in both the mid and long-term by aggregating, and developing where needed, analysis and 10-year projections of the state of population and economic structure for the 28 counties of western North Carolina and surrounding areas. Included as elements are: population and labor force demographics, industrial and occupational employment, and economic activity. The elements will be available on a regional basis; a county-by-county basis; and, where possible, on a Zip Code or Census Tract basis.
