Draw Comparisons Between Areas and Identify Business Clusters

For a detailed demographic profile of a specific geographic area (from the state level all the way down to census tracts and block groups) or to compare area demographics, the Texas Workforce Commission has created a useful tool, Sites on Texas.

Full access to the site is available to license holders only, but your local Workforce Development Board can run these reports for you. Sites on Texas also can provide detailed analyses of the workforce in your area.

To identify business clusters by geographic area, the Texas Workforce Commission’s Texas Industry Profiles site can help you pinpoint where core businesses are located, as well as the ancillary businesses that support these core industries. This site is an excellent resource for detecting regional concentrations of particular industries, as well as for identifying input-supplying industries.

For assistance with Texas Industry Profiles, contact us at texas.edge@cpa.state.tx.us or you can run these reports yourself at www.texasindustryprofiles.com.
