National Economic Projections Series provides, by subscription in three volumes per year, an updated assessment of the long-term growth outlook of the U.S. population, economy, and industry sectors. These volumes contain a current analysis of the U.S. economic growth outlook, reflecting the latest data, policy decisions, and world events; quantitative projections of output, employment, and income for 12 major sectors of the U.S. economy; and complete tabulation of the latest historical and projected data for all major economic series, for the years 1967-2030. Subscribers use these projections as a regular input in their strategic planning and as a source of data and methodology for work in their own economics, marketing, and planning departments. 

Regional Economic Projections Series. Three volumes per year, available by subscription, provide consistent time series of historical and projected data for the years 1967-2030 for the country's regions, states, economic areas, metropolitan areas, and for each of the 3098 U.S. counties or equivalents. These annually updated series include: population by age, sex and race; households; employment and earnings by sector; and personal income of residents by source. The Regional projections data have been used extensively by subscribers in a variety of applications: in marketing, in planning acquisitions or facilities, in research, and in regulatory hearings and court cases. They are also used by academic faculty for research and by graduate students for thesis work. 

Data Services from the Regional Economic Projections Series Databases. Data from the Regional Economic Projections Series are organized in economic, demographic, and household databases which are updated twice a year. Following are some of the standard services offered: 
 
complete database service for all U.S. counties, states, metro areas, economic areas, regions, and the U.S., for any or all databases, on CD-ROM,
complete data service for all metro areas, states, regions, and the U.S., for any or all databases, on diskette,

Construction/Economic Projections Service provides for all U.S. Metropolitan Statistical Areas consistent historical data and projections for the years 1980-2010 for 12 basic categories of residential and nonresidential construction and for the economic and demographic variables that determine demand for the different categories of buildings. This service also provides indicators of balance between demand and supply of the different categories of residential and nonresidential buildings in all U.S. Metropolitan Statistical Areas. 

The purpose of this service is to provide timely and affordable information about the effects of current conditions and prospective changes in the local economy and demography on the nation's construction and real estate markets. This service was developed by NPA Data Services, Inc., based on (1) its extensive historical databases and local level projections of economic and demographic indicators, and (2) its unique econometric models that relate the local economic conditions to the markets for buildings at the metropolitan level. 

Quarterly Building Permits Service was designed to help professionals in construction and real estate businesses to keep up to date with the rapid changes in their markets in some detail. The service provides consistent time series information for 19 basic indicators of building permit activity. Complete database on disk available by annual subscription with quarterly updates or in printouts for individual counties, metropolitan areas, and other geographic units. A new special feature of this service is the Quarterly Housing Trends in Metropolitan Areas.

This service is intended for use by professionals in construction, building materials, home furnishings, real estate, and financial organizations concerned with housing markets. Quarterly reports conveniently deliver current data and analyzes of trends in new housing construction for each metro area as they develop during the year.

The two versions have the same analytical chapters, appendixes, detailed maps, special feature analyses, etc. Some buyers like to have both versions for easy personal access and for ease of computations. 

Data tables include historical and projected data for 12 key indicators of population, households, income and employment for 8 different years, and their growth rates for three periods, for each of the 3098 U.S. counties, 50 states and the District of Columbia, and the U.S., for a total of 415,800 data items.
