FY 2016 Appropriation

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 providing economic and demographic forecasts for the state. These forecasts are used for revenue estimates for the governor's budget recommendations and to fulfill a legal requirement to maintain a data center that acts as a liaison with the U.S. Census Bureau.

SUCCESS Framework

The SUCCESS Framework is the Governor's initiative to improve the value of public services per taxpayer dollar. The goal is to improve state government operations and services by 25% by December 2016. Improvement is measured by quality throughput over operating expense (QT/OE).

By tracking Utah's revenue estimates, the DEA Section assists in arriving at consensus revenue forecasts used in managing the state's budget and facilitates 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 ongoing basis.
