STI: LandScape™ - Deliverables

In our many years of experience we have found that most researchers request the same group of variables for use in their analysis. So we made a decision early on to sell our data in predefined bundles. This allows us to keep our production costs low and pass the savings on to our clients. Bottom line, our clients get more data and more value for their research dollars.

Due to the volume of data being sold in each bundle, we designed a unique program that archives and retrieves data based on a series of user prompts. The program is MS Windows-based and requires only a CD-ROM drive. There is no installation procedure for the program, because it is entirely self-contained.

Geographies

The data in all STI products is keyed to U.S .Census 2000 geographies. If you use geographies based on U.S. Census data prior to 2000, you will need to update those geographies as well. Synergos Technologies Inc. offers those geographies in MapInfo® format at a very reasonable rate. Geographies for ESRI® products can be obtained for free directly from ESRI®.

Variable List (or Database Fields)

The following variable list outlines the current deliverables with the purchase of STI: LandScape data. As mentioned previously, the data is provided in a proprietary format that includes a data extraction tool, which can access the data at several unique levels of geography (e.g. Census Block Group, Tract, and County). Important: This list is subject to change without prior notification.
