• MSA-level data is directly calculated. County-level data is estimated based on industry and occupation employment data from the Census. (R2 of estimation equation is above 0.98.) Estimates generated from 2000 Census data. MSA data is from 2001 data.

• MSA level data is directly calculated. County level data is estimated based on industry and occupation employment data from the Census. (R2 of estimation equation is above 0.98.) Estimates generated from 2000 Census data. MSA data is from 2001 data.

% Creative

• Source: U.S. Bureau of the Census.• Percentage of the population age 25 and above in the region that has a bachelor's degree or above. Based on data from the 2000 census.

Talent Index

• Source: U.S. Bureau of the Census and proprietary data and calculations.

• Percentage of the workforce, age 25 and above, with at least a bachelor’s degree divided by the percentage of the population age 20 to 34 currently attending college. A value of 1.0 shows that the two percentages are equal – the region is retaining the college educated at the same rate at which it is educating them. A value greater than 1.0 is given to a region that not only keeps its own college graduates but also attracts them from other regions. A value less than 1.0 is given to a region that is keeping and attracting a lower percentage of the college educated than it is creating – the region is exporting its newly generated talent to other regions.
