Headwaters Economics conducts social science research to understand demographic and socioeconomic trends and their impacts on changing land use patterns. We use this knowledge to assist individuals, organizations and communities to benefit from their competitive advantages.

Our research focuses on the following areas:

  • Population projections.
  • Future modeling of residential patterns under various growth and land management scenarios. This includes measuring fiscal impacts, mapping the geographic distribution of residential patterns, and measuring the impact of various scenarios on wildlife habitat.
  • Custom socioeconomic profiles with details on employment and income by industry; the development of businesses by type over time; changing unemployment rates; wages by industry; etc.
  • Analysis of where areas of high economic and population growth overlap with areas of high biological and ecological importance.
  • Analysis of a community's comparative advantage relative to other communities of similar size, degree of isolation, etc.
  • Assessment of a community's social capital and ability to craft broadly supported solutions.
