Data Services
Would you like your community to attract more residents, perhaps more retirees? Would you like it to stand out amid the competition in attracting the next expanding industry? Merchant Community Analysis can help you display your local statistical information in concise, colorful information sheets.
The Census Bureau and other companies produce pages of data tables that have an overwhelming amount of information and statistics. Keeping the important data in simple, colorful charts and graphs tells more with less.
All information sheets generated by Merchant Community Analysis for your community can be tailored to have colors and fonts which match those of economic development agency’s web site and/or brand. We can also include your community logo or slogan.
As an example, please see the demographic and information sheets we put together for the City of Hendersonville, Tennessee.
For all inquiries please contact Merchant Community Analysis.
For TECHNICAL and STATISTICAL ASSISTANCE: Merchant Community Analysis also provides general statistical data technical assistance, whether community data or otherwise. The following are some examples of how we can help:
Example 1. Perhaps you have an extremely large data file that you need in user-friendly Excel, but the whole file exceeds Excel’s capabilities because of its size. You are only interested in certain records based on a certain criteria, and you need these records extracted into one spreadsheet. Merchant Community Analysis can help you accomplish this for a nominal fee.
Example 2. Maybe you have an immense flat file (fixed-width, for example, of type .txt or .dat), and you need this data imported in whole or in part into a spreadsheet. Merchant Community Analysis has the tools and capabilities to assist you in getting this done.
Example 3. Joining tables, merging tables, or parts thereof is also something that can be accomplished for you by Merchant Community Analysis. We can also show you how to use Excel to pull values from one table into another based on certain criteria (such as numerical coding).
Example 4. Statistical correlation and regression analysis can be used to generate and display trend lines for given sets of data. Tests can then be run to determine the statistical significance of upward or downward trends for your data.
