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 [...]

I’m proud to be the first of its kind at CVEP and grateful to our CEO Joe Wallace for [...]
I can't believe I started the 2024 Data Digests (Employment Profile of Coachella Valley Residents) without a map! Well, today's digest will rectify that. As I noted in the last digest, we usually use the first few digests of the new year to share socioeconomic data specific to the Coachella Valley. In 2024's first digest, [...]
I don't know about you, but I'm not much of a resolutions person. Instead, I see the new year as a time to reflect and recharge. In that spirit, as I usually do each New Year, we will look at some fundamental economic and socioeconomic data about the valley over the next few weeks. We [...]
Promoting a region's "quality of place" is essential to regional economic development and business attraction and retention. Lucky for us, the Coachella Valley abounds in "sense of place." We have world-class cultural amenities. We have globally recognized music festivals. We have a sophisticated food scene. We have unparalleled accommodations of all types. We have world-renowned [...]
I always find it fascinating to see how the Coachella Valley compares demographically with other geographic areas. Such comparisons give a fresh perspective on what is unique about our Valley. What are our particular strengths and weaknesses? Today we will compare the distribution of our workforce in terms of "class of worker." The US Census [...]
