The goal of the STICS Web site is to increase awareness and access to socioeconomic data by providing multiple tools to analyze and generate reports. In one easy-to-use application STICS offers georeferenced demographic data from the U.S. Census Bureau for the last four censuses (1970, 1980, 1990, 2000) and the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) data (1969 to 2000). The types of data accessible include population, age, racial and ethnic composition, income distribution, residential mobility, personal income, and employment data.
The STICS Web site provides several ways for coastal managers to customize, organize, and download socioeconomic information. Knowledge of database management is not required, and the Web site directs the user to the appropriate tools according to need.
