This data book accompanies our Southeastern Pennsylvania Market Assessment report, published as part of a multiyear collaboration between Brookings Metro and the Pew Charitable Trusts. As a supplement to the full assessment, this data book provides a detailed quantitative fact base for regional practitioners seeking to understand the data undergirding the market assessment, and the inputs for Brookings Metro’s sector selection framework. Data sources and detailed terminology can be found in the attached appendices. A glossary for each section of this data book can also be found by clicking on the dictionary icon in the upper-left corner of each slide.
This data book is fully interactive, providing users with access to more data than is typically available in a standard report or static PowerPoint. Readers should be mindful of different elements of this interactivity, including, but not limited to:
- Sub-page navigations, denoted by arrows in the upper-right corner of certain pages
- Categorical filters, typically formatted as drop-down menus, buttons, and sliders
- Data toggles and switches
- Hoverable tooltips/pop-ups
For the best experience, users should view this data book in a desktop or laptop browser. Proper interactivity on mobile devices is not guaranteed.
