Economic Development · Intelligence
The data and reporting that inform our work.
A working reference to the primary sources behind every project we develop — the federal statistics, research institutions, and industry reporting we rely on, gathered in one place.
How to use this
Primary sources, not a substitute for them.
Applied America grounds its work in authoritative, public data. This page points to the institutions that produce it — the statistical agencies, research bodies, and reporting we consult when assessing a region, a sector, or a project.
It is a reference, not a feed: each link goes to the primary source. As Applied America publishes its own briefings and analyses, they will appear here alongside them.
Where the numbers come from
Federal data
The primary statistical agencies whose data underpins every project assessment.
Who does the analysis
