The quality of your research data can make the difference between simply scratching the surface of an idea and uncovering profound insights for your business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At EASI, we know that high-quality demographic data is the backbone of insightful research, enabling <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.easidemographics.com\/web\/unlock-the-power-of-demographic-data-to-captivate-your-market\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">today\u2019s businesses to understand their primary audiences<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> more deeply. We\u2019re committed to providing comprehensive and curated demographic data that empowers businesses across industries to make informed decisions that drive success.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quality data equals better decisions<\/span><\/i><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Basic demographic data is fine if you want to make basic decisions. The complex decisions you need to make in today\u2019s markets require more nuance. Sure, following the basic demographic stats of a local area is fine if you want to see how many people live there and if they live in apartments or houses. But do you know when that data was collected and last updated?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If it\u2019s from the last national Census, the data is four years old. So you don\u2019t know that an area still zoned industrial in 2020 is now undergoing gentrification and is filled with bistros and loft condos. You\u2019d miss out on potential new customers or business opportunities unless you physically drove through the area.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What about the data itself, is it complete and unique? Or does it contain duplicates that are inflating some numbers and downsizing others? For example, does the location you\u2019re looking at data for have a college or military base in it? If so, those people might be counted twice in the data, between their home and work or school location. It might also seem more populated than it is, depending on when the data was collected. So, a city like Madison, WI might seem very populated from September to May, but then seems empty in the summer when students go home after the school year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">General population data said they\u2019d both be good areas for new sales volumes, but this would have been wrong. The data was correct but not detailed enough to give you a complete picture. You\u2019d have drawn misleading conclusions and potentially made a serious mistake. Better quality data and analysis help you make better business decisions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What to look for in exceptional demographic data<\/span><\/i><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When using demographic data for research and decision-making, we know that not all datasets are equal. Exceptional data is characterized by its depth, robustness, accuracy, and relevance to your industry and needs. Anything less won\u2019t give you the necessary insights to drive strategic initiatives, and will lead you to make decisions with half the information you need.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At a basic level, your demographic data provider should offer:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The latest data sources that are updated frequently<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Relevant data sources that cover the entire scope you need<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The right level of data granularity so you can go as deep as you need<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regular <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tableau.com\/learn\/articles\/what-is-data-cleaning#definition\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">data cleaning<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to ensure the data is correctly formatted, complete, and usable<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A variety of reporting options to create relevant visualizations to power your decision-making<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Advanced data options for even more exceptional analysis<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To make even better decisions, it takes advanced data options and analysis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll want to ask your demographic provider about their data granularity. Does it only include high-level subsets, or can you go deeper and look at individual pieces? E.g., do you only have city- or state-wide data, or can you go smaller and look at ZIP Codes or Block Groups or even ZIP+4s?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll also want to know how they integrate and combine datasets to pull in even more data for analysis. Are they only using the national Census data that\u2019s only done every 10 years, or do they update their data with the annual American Community Survey like EASI does? Do they also integrate the National Health Interview Survey and the Bureau of Labor Statistics data? Do their databases include ZIP codes, ZIP+4, Cities, CBSAs, Counties, States, Census Tracts, and Block Groups? Or only ZIP codes and Cities?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">EASI\u2019s long history in the industry means we\u2019ve got the expertise to deliver the precise information your business needs in the way you want it.
