The number of establishments in Harrison County doubled between 2000 and 2011, largely due to the natural increase of new businesses being launched. By 2011, the majority of establishments (57%) fell into Stage 1, having 2-9 employees. The top five employers in 2015 included Horseshoe Southern Indiana casino, Harrison County Hospital, Tyson Foods, Blue River Services housing nonprofit, and ICON Metal Forming, producing a mix of local, national and global goods and services.

Mercer Capital's Value Focus: Laboratory Services | Mid-Year 2016Mercer Capital
The document discusses the laboratory services industry, which has experienced revenue growth of 2.2% annually between 2010-2015. The industry comprises several testing segments and is projected to grow 3.4% annually over the next 5 years due to increased regulation and standards. An aging population also contributes to demand for medical laboratory services. The number of Americans over 65 is projected to more than double by 2060, increasing testing needs. Revenue and the number of industry establishments have risen in tandem due to growing research and development expenditures.
This document provides an overview of population trends in Australia and Victoria, with a focus on how COVID-19 has impacted migration patterns and population growth. It notes that Australia's population growth was just 0.2% in 2020-21, the lowest in over a century, due to border closures reducing net overseas migration. Victoria saw its first population decline in over 100 years, with declines in both interstate and overseas migration. The document then discusses the importance of population data and forecasts for community infrastructure planning, providing the example of planning a new library for Niddrie.

The document envisions long-term scenarios for world economic and population growth over the next 200-600 years. It summarizes historical data showing strong growth since the Industrial Revolution that is unlikely to continue indefinitely. Scenarios projecting historical growth rates lead to absurd outcomes. More feasible scenarios involve much lower growth rates, such as under 0.5% annual GDP per capita growth and between -0.15-0.15% annual population growth. Regional data suggests Europe, other Western nations, and some Asian/Latin American countries may already be approaching slower growth associated with the second half of an S-curve pattern, while African growth remains higher.

__________
At its optimistic best, America has embraced its identity as the world’s melting pot. Today it is on the cusp of becoming a country with no racial majority, and new minorities are poised to exert a profound impact on U.S. society, economy, and politics.
Through a compelling narrative and eye-catching charts and maps, eminent demographer William H. Frey interprets and expounds on the dramatic growth of minority populations in the United States. He finds that without these expanding groups, America could face a bleak future: this new generation of young minorities, who are having children at a faster rate than whites, is infusing our aging labor force with vitality and innovation.
Diversity Explosion shares the good news about diversity in the coming decades, and the more globalized, multiracial country that U.S. is becoming.
Senior living is a burgeoning industry driven by an exploding senior population and demand from an aging demographic with increasing needs for specialized residential requirements. This demand will drive strong growth in the senior living industry over the next several decades. The baby boomers are the largest generation in U.S. history, constituting a sizable demographic wave. With 82.8 million people born between 1946 and 1964, the baby boomers represent over 30% of the U.S. population. There is an estimate of 75 million baby boomers who are on the verge of retirement. For the next twenty years, an average of 10,000 people each day will reach age 65, which has historically been the retirement phase of life (Pew Research: http://pewrsr.ch/T4o2Hs ).

Regional Snapshot: Health Disparities Abound
The document summarizes health disparities in the Atlanta region. It finds that while the metro Atlanta area is relatively healthy overall compared to the rest of Georgia, there are significant racial disparities in health outcomes. Across a wide range of indicators such as infant mortality, diabetes hospital visits, and life expectancy, Black populations consistently have poorer health outcomes than white populations. These disparities are also spatial, with poorer health outcomes concentrated in the southern parts of the region where poverty is also higher. Factors like access to insurance, transportation, and broadband internet contribute to these disparities. The document uses charts and maps to illustrate differences in outcomes, causes of death, hospitalization rates,

This document provides a regional snapshot of the Metro Atlanta cost of living in October 2023. It finds that Metro Atlanta's overall cost of living is almost exactly the national average, with a score of 100.4 on the C2ER Cost of Living Index. While Atlanta's health care costs are slightly higher than peers, utility costs are lower, offsetting the higher health care. The document also examines how costs have increased in Atlanta since 2000, with medical and transportation costs rising the most. Housing plays a large role in determining differences in cost of living between urban areas.
Among the fifteen most populous metro areas, metro Atlanta ranks fourth in overall homeownership rates. Homeownership rates vary greatly across the metro Atlanta region and are highest for Asian residents but lowest for Black and Hispanic residents. Cobb and Gwinnett Counties have the largest differences in homeownership rates between White and Black residents, while Fayette County has a much smaller gap. Mortgage data shows White homebuyers purchasing homes in majority Black areas of DeKalb County and central Fulton County.
Choice Hotels International is seeking to acquire Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, a deal that would create one of the largest budget hotel owners. The companies are each valued at around $6 billion but are not currently in serious talks. If no deal is reached, Choice could make an offer directly to Wyndham shareholders. Wyndham shares rose on the news while Choice shares dropped. Both companies focus on budget-conscious travelers. Choice says the deal would help its goal of expanding in upper-midscale and upscale segments. The hotel industry is recovering as travelers return, but it was battered early in the pandemic when travel halted globally.

Currently Fayette County has the highest percentage of older residents while Clayton County has the lowest. The number of older people employed rebounded after the pandemic and is now the highest in 5 years, with those aged 65+ making up a growing share of total employment. The working age population is forecast to increase only 17% by 2050 compared to a 46% rise in non-working ages, reducing the dependency ratio.
This document provides a summary of data from the 100 Metros dashboard about the Atlanta metro area and how it compares to other large metro areas in the US. The data is organized into categories including demographics, housing, education/technology, health, employment, economic development, and commuting. Some key findings are that Atlanta's population ranks 8th largest nationally and grew faster than most other large metros from 2021-2022. The metro area also ranks high for housing permits, job growth, and median home sale price increases but lower for median income and average hourly wages.
1. Metro Atlanta surpassed 3 million jobs for the first time in October 2022, with employment recovering strongly from pandemic lows in early 2020.
2. Registered Nurses remain the most in-demand occupation according to job postings data, though demand is growing fastest for lower-wage jobs in areas like freight, food service, and retail.
3. Inflation has risen faster in metro Atlanta than national averages over the past year, increasing just over 8%, partly due to high population growth driving up housing costs.
The document analyzes migration patterns of young adults aged 16-26 between 2000-2018 moving to and from the Atlanta metropolitan area. It finds that the largest share of in-migration to Atlanta comes from low-income Black movers, making up 78% of all young movers. The top origins for migration are New York City and Miami, while the top destination for out-migration from Atlanta is LaGrange, Georgia. Overall, Atlanta sees far more in-migration from populations of color compared to white populations, and has one of the lowest rates of in-migration from white young adults among peer cities.
Rental presentation - with annotation.pdfARCResearch
The document summarizes rental housing affordability trends in the Atlanta metro region. It finds that over the past 5 years, rent growth in Atlanta has been the second highest among major US metros behind only Miami. Rents in the Atlanta suburbs like Forsyth County have increased the most. There has also been a decrease in affordable rental units renting for under $1250 and an increase in units renting for over $1250 from 2014-2020. Higher rents are pushing more people to file for evictions, with filings on the rise since early 2022. Census tracts with more millennials and closer to downtown Atlanta tend to have higher rental costs.
According to the document:
- Atlanta's overall cost of living is slightly above the national average, with housing costs being 13% higher but utility costs 13.4% lower than average.
- To have equivalent purchasing power in Manhattan as $50,000 in Atlanta, one would need to earn over $120,000, while only $49,900 would be needed in Dallas.
- Atlanta's consumer price index has increased 54% since 2000, with medical and transportation costs rising the most.
The document summarizes population and economic trends in the 11-county Atlanta region from 2022. It finds that the region grew by over 64,000 people between 2021 and 2022 to a total population of over 5 million. Gwinnett County saw the largest numeric increase while Henry County had the highest percentage growth. The City of Atlanta rebounded from slower growth in 2020-2021. Housing demand remains high across the region although building permit activity has not returned to pre-Great Recession levels. Job growth in the Atlanta region was strong in 2022, outpacing national trends. Most new housing construction is occurring in the outer suburban and exurban counties.
This document discusses trends in the aging population in metro Atlanta and focuses on how older adults can age in their communities. It highlights the importance of planning, engagement, access, and connection for seniors as they age. Specifically, it notes that most older adults in Atlanta prefer to age in place, discusses programs to support volunteerism and labor force participation, and outlines modifications, technologies, and initiatives to combat social isolation.

Highlights
Permanent Residents increased as did percentage of TR2PR to 62 percent of all Permanent Residents.
Asylum claimants stable at about 16,000 per month.
Study permit applications flat following last month’s drop due to announced caps. Study permit web interests has also been declining on a year-over-year basis.
While IMP numbers have declined, TFWP numbers have increased reflecting seasonal agriculture workers and those under LMIAs.
Citizenship numbers remain stable.

Conflict-affected countries dealing with national defense issues, the deaths and suffering of their people, and a fragile peace environment might find it challenging to prioritize climate change action. However, ignoring their adaptation needs while striving to promote peace would be a mistake, as there are close links between climate change and fragility.

2. In Summary…
• Diversity will drive the region’s growth. Virtually all the net growth will come from racial and ethnic minority groups. For example, Hispanic
and Latino residents are forecast to account for 21% of the region’s population in 2050, compared to 12% today
• The region’s population of older adults will grow at fast rate: In 2050, nearly 12% of the region’s population, more than 900,000 people, will
be aged 75 or older. That compares to a share of less than 5% today.
• Growth to remain strong, but slower than previously forecast. The new 2050 population forecast is about 700,000 below what was forecast
in the previous series adopted in 2020. Driving the slower growth are declining fertility rates and a drop in “in-migration” – that is, people
moving to metro Atlanta from other parts of the country or from abroad. Both of these trends accelerated during the Covid-19 pandemic.
• Fastest growth to occur in outer counties. The fastest-growing counties in the 21-county region through 2050 are forecast to be Forsyth
(79%), Barrow (71%), Paulding (60%), Cherokee (53%), Walton (51%), and Coweta (51%).
• Strong growth in region’s core, too: The region’s five core counties (Fulton, Gwinnett, Cobb, DeKalb, and Clayton, are forecast to add a total
of 812,000 people by 2050, representing nearly half of the region’s total growth. And the areas inside the I-285 will “densify” the most.
• Employment in the Professional, Business and Technical Services sector will pace job growth in the region.

Population in a nation grows in two ways: Natural increase (births less deaths) and international in-migration. For the former, we see that regardless of race or
ethnicity, the fertility rate has dropped below replacement level (approximately 2.1 children per woman). This trend will obviously have huge ramifications on
how population grows here in the Atlanta region over the next 30 years or so. Key takeaway: We won’t be growing that much via natural increase in the future.

Ratio of In-Migration to Natural Increase in Series 17 Forecasts
Natural increase Migration
Components of Growth: Natural Increase vs. In-Migration
As this chart shows, in-migration (domestic and international) will become an increasingly larger component of overall population growth throughout the
forecast horizon. In 2025, the ratio between in-migration and natural increase is essentially 50/50. By 2050, that ratio will be 80/20, i.e., 80 percent of our growth
will come from in-migration. Note: Because our forecasting model, REMI, seeks equilibrium, it produces some dramatic shifts in the first couple of years to
account for the pandemic recovery. Thus, for this chart, we start the time series in 2025. Key takeaway: With overall population growth slowing, we will need
to rely concurrently on growing talent natively, retaining that local talent, and recruiting the right talent from a dwindling pool of potential in-migrants.

Population Employment
As this chart shows, our latest forecast is for the 21-county region to add (from a 2020 base) roughly 1.8 million new residents and 860,000 new jobs by 2050. As
the next slide shows, the forecast population growth in this series represents a slowdown when compared to growth expectations of prior series.

We are forecasting that the White and Black populations' shares of the total (population) will decline through to 2050, with concomitant share increases in
the Hispanic ethnicity (of any race) and of "Asian and Other Non-Hispanic" races.
Key takeaway: The Atlanta region’s future population growth will be driven almost entirely by populations of color.

In looking at age, here we see that the only age bands that will grow in share over the forecast horizon are the 55 and over age cohorts, particularly the 75+ (with
a dramatic increase from just under 5% to over 10%). Declining fertility rates are a significant driver for this trend.
Key takeaway: We’re going to have more than 900,000 people aged 75 and older in 2050. We have never had that kind of age profile in our history. Think of
the ramifications-- for how we travel, how our communities are designed and how we will consume health care, among others.

Forecast Job Growth By County: Just the Numbers
Source: ARC Series 17 Forecasts
Fulton will remain the region’s largest job base during the forecast horizon. Note that the job totals shown on this table represent the jobs included in our
transportation modeling (i.e., the at-place employment not including sole proprietors). The job growth to 2050 across the 21-county area, for this smaller
grouping of jobs, is 655,000, rather than 860,000.

Forecast Job Growth by Industry, 2020-2050 2020 Change, 2020-2050

Professional, Scientific, Tech Jobs To Be Largest Industry
This chart shows that while today the largest employment sector is Health Care/Social Assistance, by 2050 the Professional/Scientific/Technical industry will be the
largest. Key takeaway: In our previous forecast, Health Care was the largest sector by 2050. Now, at least initially, most data show that the technical occupations
were the “winners” of the pandemic as we came to rely more on technology than ever to power our lives. Our employment forecast supports this early read.
40. Total Population Change,
2020 - 2050
This map looks at total population
change at the census tract level.
As can be seen, the outlying areas
have the highest levels of total growth,
but these areas also have the largest
census tracts, so it is to be expected to
see large numerical gains in these
areas. There are, however, several
tracts in the urban core that are “red”,
meaning that these areas, too, are
expected to gain significant population
growth in the future.

41. Population Change Per
Sq. Mile, 2020 - 2050
This map looks at population change per
square mile at the census tract level.
Therefore this is looking at which areas
will densify the most.
As can be seen, this maps serves as a stark
contrast to the previous map as this
normalizes for the size of the tract. Here
we see that the urban core – in the city of
Atlanta, areas surrounding Decatur in
DeKalb, areas near the Vinings area in
Cobb all will see significant densification
in the upcoming years. This includes more
suburban areas like Gwinnett, Forsyth and
Cherokee (particularly near Woodstock)
as well.
Finally, we see that many of those
outlying areas there were “red” in the
previous map are now blue because of
the normalization by size of tract.
42. Total Job Change,
2020 - 2050
This map looks at job change at the ARC’s
Superdistrict level. Superdistricts were
created by ARC to be a consistent small
area geography over time. They are made
up of aggregations of census tracts.
As can be seen, most of the forecast job
growth will go to the northern parts of
the region, continuing a historical trend.
There are areas south, particularly around
the Airport and in Henry County where
job growth will be robust as well.
