In many rural counties, gaining access to relevant demographic, education, social, and economic data is not easy to come by, or, at a minimum, difficult to locate in one centralized site. As a way of making key data readily available to local leaders, agencies, and organizations, the SRDC has created this Data Center to provide information on more than three dozen variables for every county in the region. Moreover, state level data - overall and by metro and nonmetro areas of the state - are provided as well. In many cases, data are presented over 2-3 points in time (for example, for the years 1990, 2000, and 2010).
