Socioeconomic Indicators

The Carsey Institute develops interactive Web sites providing access to socioeconomic indicators from across the nation. Our goal is to create accessible indicator Web sites to encourage policy makers, community development practitioners, researchers, and the general public to gain a better understanding of rural issues. Informative and interactive, the indicator sites allow users to search on specific, rural-relevant indicators of well-being, as well as create tables and maps of predetermined indicators.

Carsey’s Socioeconomic Indicators of North Country site provides information to help understand and guide the changes taking place in northern New Hampshire and adjacent counties in Vermont and Maine, as leaders in the region endeavor to move from managing decline to building a sustainable future that attracts and retains young people.

Carsey’s Northern New England Indicators site provides information on thirty-one indicators at the state and county level for New Hampshire, Maine, and Vermont.

Carsey's U.S. Counties site provides demographic, social, environmental, and forest cover data for all 3,141 U.S. counties.

Carsey's interactive Social and Economic Nonmetropolitan Indicators by State site allows visitors to explore preselected socioeconomic indicators from rural areas of each state.

Carsey's Population Dynamics in Arctic Alaska provides access to both county and town data for rural communities throughout Alaska.
