As we prepare for our annual Economic Summit this November, we are starting to dig through lots of interesting demographic, economic, and business data. Today we present data about the total number of businesses by sector categorized by the federal government's North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Over the next few weeks, we will preview [...]
As stated in my bio, I do listen to many, many podcasts. One of my favorites is the New York Time's Ezra Klein Show. His latest episode was "The Economic Theory That Explains Why Americans Are So Mad." He states that on a personal level, many Americans say they're doing ok. The stock market is [...]
In case you haven't noticed, it is a pivotal election year. Whether we like it or not, this is our democracy in progress. While the nation is fixated on the national race I'm reminded of the common axiom "all politics is local." Local concerns motivate most voters - is my city safe, can I afford [...]
We're back to another interactive map for today's Data Digest. Like the previous Household Income Comparisons map, this map allows you to explore 5 different map layers. These layers follow a theme of average household and family size in the valley and housing affordability for the typical family. Several of the map layers are symbolized [...]

Often, a topic would come up, or a question, and I would run to my office and quickly produce a map or chart to further our discussion. Now [...]
We don't want to get too esoteric or specialized for most Data Digests. There are no maps about the average consumption of organic hotdogs per household here (although we would be happy to share the data if you're interested). Still, Geographic Information Systems modeling techniques offer a dizzying array of data aggregated to usefully small [...]
Inevitably, CVEP has seen its fair share of climate change conversations. But despite differences of opinions or passions, discussions often turn to "what should we do about potential consequences?" A word repeated often is resilience. How do we create a more resilient valley? Hurricane Hilary reminded us that unexpected challenges will occur. How can we [...]
We had so much fun creating interactive content for the last Data Digest that we decided to do it again. Today we present an interactive map showing broadband internet availability in the Coachella Valley. CVEP has long championed high-speed internet availability as a crucial component of attracting and retaining businesses in the valley. Remote-work households [...]
For today's Data Digest, we are shaking things up a bit. Prepare to get interactive! Instead of a static map and commentary, today we present to you an interactive web map application. This web map allows you to investigate household income statistics at the Census Block Group level. Click here to explore today's map more [...]
At CVEP, we support our iHub clients with customized data to help their businesses grow. In addition, we have worked with many potential businesses contemplating locating in the Coachella Valley. Not knowing our market completely, they are looking for local data matched to their specific business profile. For example, an established retirement community with many [...]
