To help quantify this diversified strategy, the Team agrees that if the top three industry sectors in any community represent more than 50% of its revenue sources,
this indicates that the community may be at risk for being too dependent upon a limited number of industries. Furthermore, the Team believes it is important to look at the economic section of the Index from three vantage points:


  1. Economic Diversity–the power to exist-succeed in areas outside of any one segment;

  2. Affordability— what is the cost-of-living in our community,

  3. Strength of our Industrial Base—Changes in the personal income of the residents of the county factor into our economy over

The Team has identified six categories to quantify and track in order to continue to foster a healthy economy:

Gross County Product (GCP),

Income Diversity by Industry

Employment Diversity by Industry

Housing Affordability

Construction Industry Values

Value of Agriculture Production.
