Every deliverable is normalized to a comparable system of anchor communities and corridors — letting any single metric be read three ways at once: the community alone, the community among peers, and the corridor as a system.
The economic data your community needs lives in a dozen federal, state, and partner portals, each with its own quirks. We bring it all into one place: a single interactive site, on any browser, on any device. No logins, no gatekeeping. Decades of data telling the story of what moves your community — population, employment, wages, housing, business establishments, sales tax, lodging, recreation, and more.
STR, AirDNA, lodging-tax, airport-enplanements, and visitor-profile data assembled into occupancy, ADR, length-of-stay, origin-market, and seasonality reports. Day-tripper vs. overnight breakouts, midweek vs. weekend patterns, and peer-community benchmarking — built so a chamber, a lodging operator, and an elected official can all read from the same source.
LEHD origin-destination flows routed onto hand-authored corridor graphs, Placer.ai and cell-derived mobility, traffic counts, and asset utilization turned into commute maps, downtown foot-traffic patterns, trailhead and gateway analyses, and origin-market intelligence to focus marketing spend.
Sector-level sales and lodging-tax trends, retail leakage studies, county GDP and per-capita-income work, occupational wage analysis, and consumer-expenditure patterns — with methodology transparent enough to hold up in a room full of elected officials, operators, and merchants.
Regularly updated dashboards, monthly KPI snapshots, and annual impact reports built to replace manually populated spreadsheets and standardize how your community talks about itself — so the work goes into reading and acting, not rebuilding.
Most engagements begin with a single question your team keeps having to answer by hand. From there the shape is simple, the methodology is open, and the work is built to stay useful long after it ships.
Tourism and visitor reports, economic-impact analyses, and mobility studies — a defensible answer to a specific question, delivered once and yours to keep.
Durable, public, no-login regional references your whole community can read from — the same page for a board member, an operator, and a resident.
KPI snapshots and annual impact reporting that replace manually populated spreadsheets, so the work goes into reading and acting, not rebuilding.
Each engagement is scoped to your question, your region, and your budget.
We start with the question you're actually trying to answer, and who needs to read the result.
I map what's available — federal, state, partner, and private sources — and what it can honestly support.
The study, atlas, or dashboard gets built on documented, open methodology.
We walk through it together, check the numbers against what you know on the ground, and refine.
Beyond delivery, I keep the work current — refreshing data, answering new questions, and adapting it as your needs evolve.
Timelines depend on scope — most studies take a few weeks, and atlases a bit longer.
Every deliverable is built on documented, open methodology and standard tooling — handed over in full, so it stays maintainable whether or not I'm the one maintaining it.
Public-sector procurement requirements vary by jurisdiction — tell me what yours needs and I'll work within it.
Every analysis is framed around the system your community actually operates inside — the labor shed, the corridor, the visitor catchment — not just the boundaries on a map.
We frame analyses around the system your community actually operates inside — the labor shed, the corridor, the visitor catchment — not just the boundaries on a map. The defining choice in our work is that framing.
Lowering the cost of asking quantitative questions is the key. Our work is designed to be the first thing your team reaches for when a board member, a partner, or a reporter asks something hard — not the report you commission after the conversation has already happened.
The data your community pays for should be readable by the public. We design for the council member, the lodging operator, the reporter, and the curious resident.
Send the question, the geography, and your timeline — plus a note on how you procure (direct, a quote, or an RFP). You'll get a straight answer on fit, scope, and whether HCA is the right shop for the work.
