  1. SEMCOG Forecast Process

  2. What is the SEMCOG Forecast? SEMCOG Forecast • A 30-year forecast of population by age, households by income and children, employment by sector, and land use change • Forecasts changes by individual land parcel, so output can be added up by any political or planning jurisdiction

  3. How we Forecast SEMCOG Forecast • We collect data on person, household, and job characteristics from state and national surveys such as the U.S. Census • Add to that local data on the current and future development of land parcels • Add to that other data on transportation, crime, tax rates and other development drivers • And input this data into an urban simulation model named UrbanSim

  4. Forecast Data Input SEMCOG Forecast Regional Control Totals • Land Parcel and Tax Assessor Data: • Property Address and Owner • Property Class and Property Status • Current Zoning • Value of the Land and Structures • Recent Sales Data • Number and Age of Buildings • Number of Housing Units • Building Occupancy • Building Size (Square Feet and Stories) Jobs Data (ES-202): Business Establishments Employment by Type Households Data (Census): Persons, Workers, Children, Age, Race, and Income Future Land Use plans, Crime rates, Environmental constraints, and Property Tax rates UrbanSim Model • Travel Data: • Travel Time between Areas • Accessibility to Transit and Jobs

  6. Urban Simulation Model SEMCOG Forecast • Simulates the interactions between land use, transportation, and public policy • It forecasts future household and business locations based on market preferences and available real estate • Can model different policy assumptions, such as changes in housing vacancy, land regulation, or travel patterns

  7. How the Model Works SEMCOG Forecast • Regional Forecast Totals: • Population • Households • Employment • New and Moving: • Households • Businesses • Current Inventories: • Housing and Households • Buildings and Businesses • Land Development: • Prices Adjusted • New Houses • New Buildings

  8. Solving Problems Local Government Decisions School enrollment has been up slightly over the last few years. Should we build a new elementary school?

  9. Change in Population Ages 5 to 17 by School District Large loss (>2,000) Loss (501 to 2,000) Slight loss (0 to 500) Slight gain (1 to 500) Gain (501 to 2,500) School Age PopulationSoutheast Michigan School Districts, 2010-2020

  10. Solving Problems Local Government Decision Since the long term forecast for school age children is a decline over the 2010 level, no, a new school building is not needed. School enrollment has been up slightly over the last few years. Should we build a new elementary school?

  11. Solving Problems Local Government Decisions We have a grant to build a new community center. Should we build a sports recreation building or a senior center?

  12. Population Growth by Age GroupSoutheast Michigan, 2010-2040 Source: SEMCOG 2040 Forecast

  13. Solving Problems Local Government Decision Since the long term forecast is for the senior population to nearly double while all other age groups decline, we should build a senior center. We have a grant to build a new community center. Should we build a sports recreation building or a senior center?

  14. Solving Problems SEMCOG Forecast • SEMCOG’s regional development forecast is designed to provide local elected officials the data needed to solve current planning issues • This is particularly important in a time of limited financial resources
