Metro & State Real Per Capita Personal Income: 2008-12

.. resources to examine per capita economic progress by state and metro … based on real per capita personal income (RPPI) as a single measure, which states and metros have fared better over the period 2008-2012? Use the interactive table in this Web section to view, rank, compare states and metros based annual real per capita personal income estimates for this period. The new April 2014 data, developed by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, are part of the Regional Economic Information System.

Real Per Capita Personal Income by Metro; Percent Change 2008-12
The following view, developed with CV XE GIS using related RPPI GIS project, shows the percent change in real per capita personal income, 2008-12, by metro.

See zoom-in view of Texas/South Central metros below in this section.

Implications of Changing RPPI
Some caution is important in interpreting change in real per capita personal income (RPPI). Personal income is the income received by all persons from all sources. Personal income is the sum of net earnings by place of residence, property income, and personal current transfer receipts. Real, price-adjusted, estimates of per capita personal income (RPPI) is one of the best measures of overall economic prosperity. But it is only one measure and omits other aspects of quality of life and related measures.

If the population of the area is falling, the RPPI will be increasing even though there is no increase in total real personal income. Similarly, high population growth areas may reflect a subdued RPPI growth.

Government transfer payments, such as unemployment benefits and government assistance, can be increase or decrease personal income and mask the real performance of the area economy.

Some areas were already experiencing depressed conditions in 2008, while others had been accelerating rapidly. There relative differences may not be fully reflected by the RPPI alone.

Metros with Fastest Growing RPPI
Use the Web interactive table to examine how metros (or states) are changing. The following graphic shows how the table can be used to rank metros in descending order on RPPI percent increase, 2008-12. Click graphic for larger view.

Largest 100 School Districts: 2014 Updates

Updated April 2014, the list of the largest 100 school districts now includes 2013-14 school year data. See the related Web section that includes an interactive table to view characteristics of each/all of these districts and a district-specific section with district map graphics and related data. Extended data for each district provide related demographic-economic estimates and projections to help stakeholders gain insights into the how, where, when and by how much change will occur and assess potential impacts. New to the largest 100 list are Klein ISD, TX (Houston area) and Round Rock ISD, TX (Austin area).

Mapping Site Analysis Areas

Many of us are interested in small area demographics to aggregate the data into larger areas for site and study area analysis. Small area geographies include census blocks, block groups, census tracts, ZIP code areas, among others. This section reviews mapping and GIS resources to visually examine site analysis areas. See related Web section for more details and updates.

The Missouri Census Data Center (MCDC) has developed Circular Area Profiling System (CAPS) Web-based tools that enable the user to create a demographic profile for a circular area where the user specifies the point/location of interest (latitude-longitude) and associated radii. Enter the latitude-longitude and radius values, related details, and click Generate Report. The report is generated, displayed in HTML and created as a CSV file available for download. Try it yourself. Further details … on the CAPS10C entry form enter the latitude and longitude values 38.631551 and -90.193009, respectively. (alternatively, enter the ZIP code value 63101 in the Latitude box and have the application look up these ZIP code centroid coordinates.) Enter the two radii (1 3) in the “Enter up to 5 radius value” text box provided. The 1-mile radius report shows characteristics of the circular area with a total population of 13,095; the 3-mile radius report has a total population of 80,258.

Mapping the Circular Area Profiles
The MCDC tool does not create a map showing the location and features of the site/study area. The CAPS geocode data file can be imported into CV XE GIS for mapping and geospatial analysis. An example of the map developed for the site described above is shown in the following graphic. The census blocks in the one-mile radius are shown in blue; census blocks in the three-mile radius are shown in green. The “ground zero” point location in St. Louis, MO is shown by the red marker. Other layers could be added.

Once the GIS project is set up, many other visual and geospatial analysis possibilities exist. The following view shows a zoom-in to the 1-mile radius area. The CV XE GIS identify tool is used to display a mini-profile for a census block of interest (see pointer). Census blocks are labeled with the population value. As of Census 2010, this block had 488 population and 331 housing units.

Using the CAPS GIS Illustration Project
To explore the CAPS GIS project used to develop the above views, follow these steps:
• Expand the CAPS GIS zip file to a new folder (e.g., d:\xyz)
– requires no fee User Group id and password: more about User Group below.
• With CV XE GIS running, open the project d:\xyz\caps1.gis.
– where d:\xyz is the folder containing the unzipped files.
– the start-up view will appear as shown in the view at the top of this section.
– if you have not installed CV XE GIS, install the no fee, no registration version.

Scope of Circular Area Profiles
Circular Area Profiles may be developed for any location in the U.S. The Circular Area Profiles may be generated using data from Census 2010 and American Community Survey. The focus of this section is on census block profiles based on Census 2010. An update will expand on possibilities for visual analysis.

Options to Create Map Views
There are three options to create site maps such as the one shown above.
• ProximityOne User Group members may use CV XE GIS tools to develop the GIS project (no fee).
– this involves several technical steps, summarized in a separate section.
• CV XE GIS Level 3 automatically creates the GIS project (fee based).
– a feature imports the CAPS geo file & creates the ready-to-use GIS project.
– Optionally use CV API to attach additional demographics to each block or elemental area.
• ProximityOne creates map views like those shown above (fee based).
– this option requires no software or data file operations.

Native American Area GeoDemographics

As of Census 2010, the total population of America’s 692 Native American areas was 4,849,548. These areas covered 49,194 square miles with a population of 98.6 persons per square mile. The total American Indian, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian (one race alone) living in these areas was 981,513.

Wide-ranging demographic-economic data for Native American geographic areas facilitate data-driven planning and analysis. By knowing about the demographic-economic characteristics of Native American areas, stakeholders are better able to understand and communicate about “where we are now” — what is the situation now? — for these areas. By examining these data over time, stakeholders can better see how these attributes are trending. By knowing about where we are and how things are trending, we can get a better picture of the future — if matters continue with present trends.

Interactive Table — examine NAA geodemographics
This section provides information about Native American area geographic-demographic-economic characteristics and trends. Use the interactive table at
http://proximityone.com/nativeamericanareas.htm to view, query, rank, compare characteristics of the Native American areas.

Data Resources
Data in the interactive table are based on Census 2010 Summary File 1. All Native American areas (692) are included in the table. Many of these areas have zero population but exist as legally defined areas. Data from Summary File 1 are available down to the census block level.

Additional richer demographic-economic data (e.g., income, education, housing value, employment, educational attainment, etc.) are available from the annually updated American Community Survey. As of this date (April 2014), the Census 2010 data provide the most accurate and up-to-date basic demographics for most Native American areas. Since most Native Americans areas have small populations, the ACS 5-year estimates (as compared to the 1-year or 3-year estimates) must be used; the 2012 5-year estimates are centric to mid-2010. Interactive tables providing access to these data will be posted soon.
