Ways to Define Your Study Area 

Demographic profiles can be produced for almost any type or sized area, from a single city block to an entire state. This includes zip codes, Block groups, Census Tracks, counties, and custom drawn boundaries.

Ring-study 

This is the standard method used for years. Concentric rings gather data from within the area of each radius, which can then be compared for further insight.  This can be done with up to 3 rings.

Drive Time-study

An exciting NEW method, based on the time it takes someone to drive to your church (or any other point) from their home, is demonstrated at drive-time studies.

Polygon-study

We can draw the boundaries to show more detailed information of an area.

Whatever your specific situation, we will work with you to produce a custom-drawn boundary that captures data on just the people you are trying to reach.
