Socioeconomic Data

Socioeconomic Data

As part of the MPO's regional transportation planning process, socioeconomic data and forecast are developed by area local governments and RRPDC staff at a relatively small geographic level (i.e., traffic analysis zones) for use in various VDOT, MPO and local plan and study activities. Socioeconomic data/forecasts provides input for travel demand models, EIS, corridor studies, air quality conformity analysis, transit studies, etc., and is used to respond to information requests for market and other demographic studies. The most recent published report, (i.e., Socioeconomic Data Report, 2000 and 2031) was reviewed and approved at the MPO's November 7, 2007 meeting.

The RRPDC works with area local governments to coordinate the development of socioeconomic data and forecasts. Data prepared by RRPDC staff and area local governments is as follows:

Total population
Group quarters population
Single and multi-family population
Total households
Total housing units
Single and multi-family housing units
Total employment

Total students
