Allocation of growth is forecasted using a land use model, UrbanSim, and working closely with member county planning staffs. DVRPC has prepared regional, county, and municipal-level population and employment forecasts in five-year increments through 2050, using 2015 Census population estimates and 2015 National Establishments Time Series (NETS) employment data as the base. A forthcoming Analytical Data Report will document the forecasting process and methodologies. This data provides the county-level forecast. Note: while 2019 land use model results are provided, the forecast was only adopted for 2015, 2020, 2025, 2030, 2035, 2040, 2045, and 2050.</dc:description><dc:format>ArcGIS FeatureLayer</dc:format><dc:identifier>https://hub.arcgis.com/datasets/2d25c59838624a25b0b61863ab634732_0</dc:identifier><dc:language>eng</dc:language><dc:publisher>Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC)</dc:publisher><dc:rights>Public</dc:rights><dc:title>DVRPC 2050 Population &amp; Employment Forecasts, &amp; Zonal Data (County) version 1 [Pennsylvania]</dc:title><dc:type>Web services</dc:type><dc:coverage>Pennsylvania</dc:coverage><dc:date>2050</dc:date></oai_dc:dc>
