The following report documents a
variety of statistics comparing patterns of growth or decline in the Enterprise
Communities. The report goes beyond the presentation of facts and
figures to include an analysis of regional implications for development
in the EC. The most appropriate variables for each of the Enterprise
Communities was compared with data from Saint Clair County, the Suburban
Ring, Saint Louis, the Saint Louis MSA, and Illinois, where applicable.
The following variables are reported:
| Demographics | Population and Population Trends
Racial Breakdown Age Cohorts Family Types Gender Ratios Marital Status Migration |
| Education | Total School Enrollment
High School and College Graduation Rates |
| Employment | Labor Force
Unemployment Rates Occupation Types Commutation Data |
| Income | Median Household/Family and Per
Capita Income
Sources of Income Poverty Rates |
| Housing | Total Dwelling Units
Occupancy Overcrowding Median Housing Values Median Monthly Rental Costs Median Monthly Housing Cost w/wo Mortgage |
| County Business Patterns | |
| Loan Data |
In addition to the sources stated
after each section and/or table, the ESLARP Enterprise Communities Data
report and the Emerson Park Neighborhood Revitalization Plan Data Book
were both used to verify data that had to be calculated by hand.
Secondly, the data is presented in 10-year intervals because the U.S. Bureau
of Census, a primary source of the information being presented, only reports
detailed statistics at the start of every decade. Third, many of
the variables are presented over a forty year range to demonstrate trends,
while other variables are reported for one time frame where trend data
was not available or applicable.
