Headwater Economics a treasure trove of socioeconomic data & inspiration for some UI

[joewheaton]

Peter Wyrsch from Blue Forest turned me on to Headwater Economics. There is some phenomenal data available to download by community, by BLM district, or USFS ranger district (e.g. Cache-Uintah). This includes hard data and spatial data on:

• Economic Development
• Equity - e.g. see Logan and you can use their Economic Profile System(https://headwaterseconomics.org/tools/economic-profile-system/about/) to look at any county.
• Natural Hazards
• Public Lands
• Outdoor Recreation
  Poke around and get some inspiration. The way they make really easy excel and PDF reports of the graphical and tabular data is very inspiring. The spatial data portals are very clean. I like that they do not have one map interface for discovery. Every single map product is very careful tailored for that specific purpose/audience.

@lauren-herbine and @shelbysawyer you should take a look at this for awareness and context. However, @philipbaileynar and @MattReimer should take a look for ideas and inspiration.

Just a few reminders to revitalize this discussion:

• @lauren-herbine Anything in here you need for River Styling?
• @wally-mac we should discuss whether worth having anyone in @Riverscapes/etal-fhc add any of this to Riverscape Context

@philipbaileynar Amy from NRDC brought this back to my attention the other day. It might be worth mentioning this to Aida as an example of something policy makers find really useful and engaging.
