The Spatial Trends in Coastal Socioeconomics (STICS) currently offers:
- Demographics from the U.S. Census Bureau
- Personal income and employment from the Bureau of Economic Analysis
- Demographic projections developed by Woods and Poole Economics, Inc.
- Marine recreation from the National Survey on Recreation in the Environment
STICS recompiles this information in a variety of coastal management jurisdictions:
- Placed-based management programs—for example, USEPA National Estuary Program
- Floodplains—for example, FEMA 100-year flood hazard areas
- Watersheds—for example, NOAA estuaries and USGS hydrologic units
- Political areas—for example, counties and states
See more detail in the About section.
