Market Sphere People, Places, Prices℠

An Analytics Framework

Why do we focus on people, places, and prices?

Here’s why these are important topics to follow:

People: People are not an interruption of our business. People are our business.*

Places: Migration is an expression of the human aspiration for dignity, safety, and a better future. It is part of the social fabric, part of our very makeup as a human family.*

Prices: Prices coordinate the decisions of producers and consumers in a market. Higher prices tend to reduce consumer purchases and encourage production. Lower prices encourage consumption and discourage production. Prices are the balance wheel of the market mechanism.*

Demographics

Who is in your community? And what are they like? Find out more about the composition of your neighborhood, city, county, and state from the demographics dashboard. Each dashboard can be customized to your organization’s service area, and the data is visualized so it’s easy to understand.

Economics

Data only tells part of the story. Our dashboards and visualizations help tell the rest. We have demographic and economic dashboards to provide out-of-the-box solutions for you. These dashboards are regularly maintained and accessible for immediate usage. We also design custom visualizations and can maintain and publish dashboards for your organization.
