The
community profiles provide a host of demographic information
for each county, city and region in Virginia. County and city
profiles can be updated electronically through the
iVS - VirginiaScan Online Update Center. Local economic
development allies can electronically update 11 of the 23
data categories included in VEDP's demographic profile for
their locality. The updatable categories include location,
major employers, utilities (electric, gas, telecommunications,
water, sewer, and solid waste disposal), government, community
facilities and lifestyle. Please contact

VEDP/VCCS Cluster
Study Results (July 2005) |
| |
VEDP has teamed up with the Workforce Development Services
Division of the Virginia Community College System
to pursue a joint analysis of industry and occupation clusters.
The project is intended to: help regions reveal new industry
targets or confirm current ones for allocation of scarce marketing
resources; fuel existing business retention efforts with focus
on supplier-customer relationships of value to the current
industry base; market the existing labor pool’s skill
and knowledge base and align these advantages with industry
targets; and coordinate with community colleges and universities
to ensure a stream of graduates to meet the demands of industry,
both current and future.
Sources: VEDP, VCCS, VDCR (2005)
Note: Three counties are included in multiple regions. Chesterfield
is included in the Greater Richmond and Virginia's Gateway
Regions, Surry is included in the Virginia's Gateway and Hampton
Roads Regions, and Gloucester is included in the Virginia's
River Country and Hampton Roads Regions.

Composite
Fiscal Stress Index Scores, Rank Scores, and Classifications (February
2008) |
| |
As
approached by the Commission on Local Government, the measurement
of fiscal stress entails the construction of a three-variable index
founded upon chronologically equivalent indicators linked to the
most current observation period for which relevant statistics can
be obtained across all counties and cities. More precisely, the
stress index taps jurisdictional measures denoting:
- the level
of revenue capacity per capita during a specified fiscal period
- the degree
of revenue effort over the same time span
- the magnitude
of median adjusted gross income for individuals and married couples
in the pertinent calendar year
With respect
to each of these factors, any given county or city is assigned a
relative stress score establishing the distance, in standard deviation
units, of the target locality's raw score from the mean of the overall
data distribution. The foregoing "transformation" procedure
ensures the imposition of a common statistical gauge upon the several
constituent dimensions of the index. Under the computational technique
employed by the Commission, the three relative stress values associated
with a particular jurisdiction are added to produce an integrated
expression of its fiscal strain during the selected measurement
period. The higher the magnitude of this summary statistic, the
greater the fiscal duress experienced by the specified county or
city. It should be noted that the composite index score, though
not an absolute indicator of financial hardship at the local level,
identifies the standing of the designated jurisdiction in relation
to every other county or city throughout Virginia.
