Data Center

We are a federally designated state data center and provide gateway data services to citizens of Indiana and surrounding states. In addition to tailored data products and consulting services, we also publish: 

Economic Indicators
Data on housing, wages, employment, consumption, exchange rates, and dozens of other economic data which provides evidence of the direction of change in the local, state, and federal economy.

County Profiles
Citizens and community leaders are often called upon to better understand the demographics and population, economic activity, size and scope, infrastructure, and the state of social and human capital in their region. Our county profiles provide detailed, up-to-date data and graphics in an easy to use format for Indiana’s 92 counties.

Labor Market Forecasts
Projections of economic activity in Indiana are difficult to obtain and often focus on a few top level variables. Our labor market forecasts are designed to project employment, wages, job turnovers, and other labor market factors for Indiana’s labor markets. 

Cost of Living Index
Joining a nationwide network of researchers sponsored by the Council for Community and Economic Research, we gather data on over 100 different consumption items each quarter. The resulting data provide a nationwide cost of living index, which can be compared to east central Indiana from over 250 communities nationwide.
