SPDC Data Book 2015
The SPDC Data Book contains data from sources such as the US Decennial Census, American Community Survey, Virginia Employment Commission, Weldon Cooper Center, US Agricultural Census, and much more. Subjects covered include demographics, income, retail and wholesale markets, tourism, agriculture, employment, housing and infrastructure.
The newest version of the SPDC Data Book includes interactive links to Google Drive spreadsheets where the user can copy, download, or work with the source data in a spreadsheet format. Some links include expanded, related, or historical data that did not fit in the book. The current version of the Data Book has interactive links for roughly half of the tables, charts, and graphs found within. Future versions will include more interactive links.
