EPS-HDT: Getting the Economics Right

Getting accurate, timely economic data is vital to making informed land-use and community development decisions. Our updated Economic Profile System-Human Dimensions Toolkit (EPS-HDT) helps decision makers access and analyze large amounts of information, about their community, or anywhere in the United States.

EPS-HDT was created jointly by Headwaters Economics, the Bureau of Land Management, and the U.S. Forest Service. Our latest newsletter (pdf) shows you how to apply this free, user-friendly software, and its 14 detailed reports on specific economic sectors, including mining, non-labor income, and the economic importance of natural amenities.
