Program: Demographic and Economic Analysis

Function

The Demographic and Economic Analysis (DEA) section manages, analyzes, and disseminates economic, demographic, and fiscal data in order to contribute to improved planning, budgeting, and policy-making, as well as provides economic and demographic forecasts for the state. These forecasts are used for revenue estimates for the governor's budget recommendations and fulfill a legal requirement to maintain a data center that acts as a liaison with the U.S. Census Bureau.

By tracking Utah's revenue estimates, the DEA Section is better able to project tax revenue used in managing the state's budget and facilitate more informed judgments about issues impacting Utah. It also publishes several annual reports that help provide data to universities, non-profit groups, and state departments, on an on-going basis.
