PopStats Demographic Data

This PopStats demographic data utilized in this report is provided by Synergos Technologies. This data is updated quarterly to end users based on new ZIP+4 data (note that new data and statistics are delivered monthly, updated quarterly). This data is modeled where a growth factor is derived for every ZIP+4 in the country. This application occurs via a proprietary model that uses this information as well as other pertinent factors (see below) to generate a current estimate. The data sources for PopStats datasets come from:

� United States Postal Service (USPS) � United States Department of Defense (DMDC) � United States Census Bureau � National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) � Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) � Internal Revenue Service (IRS) � Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) � Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) � Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO)

Most data vendors and therefore most data analysts are using information that is delivered once annually and is based upon trended census growth figures (i.e., 1990 to 2000). Census trended data misses any new growth that may occur, particularly isolated hot communities that tend to flare up in a few years and sometimes a few quarters.
