AY Honors/Identifying Community Needs/Economic

Economic indicators include employment rates, income levels, occupations, number of businesses vs residences, etc. This information is usually included with any standard demographic report. If it is not, you can get information like this from your municipality, county/parish, or state by contacting the Department of Economic Services and Community Development. They will be able to provide you with income reports and business statistics for their jurisdiction; you may also contact the Department of Revenue for sales tax and other local revenue statistics.
