WELCOME TO IMPACT DATASOURCE!

The Premier Economic Impact Analysis Firm

Since 1993, Impact DataSource has provided economic impact analyses and other economic research for public and private clients across the country. Our clients include cities, counties, local economic development organizations, states, developers, homebuilders and others.

Our economic impact analyses are comprehensive, timely and affordable and clearly show how economic development projects may impact your community. Our reports demonstrate how these economic impacts translate into costs and benefits for local taxing districts. Additionally, the reports provide a third-party assessment of the project and evaluate appropriate levels of incentives so that you can make informed decisions on incentives to offer or request. 

We offer three services for our clients seeking economic impact analysis.

  1. Individual Economic Impact Analyses - Reports completed on a project-by-project basis by Impact DataSource consultants are perfect for cities, local economic development organizations, site developers and home builders who seek a detailed, independent, third-party economic impact analysis.

  2. Quick Impact™  is a computer model that provides cities or economic development organizations a quick and easy economic impact calculator for development projects. The model calculates the economic impacts and resulting costs and benefits for one taxing district.

  3. Total Impact™  is a computer model that provides cities or economic development organizations a comprehensive economic impact analysis. The model calculates the economic impact and resulting costs and benefits for all relevant taxing districts including the state if desired.

In addition to economic impact analyses, Impact DataSource conducts a variety of other economic studies and research.
