The Big Radius Tool is intended to provide “gross” numbers for a mileage-based radius, beginning at 50 miles and going up to 500 miles. Counties are aggregated, so this isn’t a hyper-precise tool but is intended to provide intelligence on the counties within a large (50 miles or more) radius.

Use It to:

  • Enumerate how many people live within a certain radius
  • See which counties are the largest and/or the fastest growing
  • Quickly learn the size of the labor force and unemployment rate ranges of the counties in the radius
  • Determine which industry sectors are among the largest in the radius

How to Use It:

It’s easy—just type in the name of a city or county and use the “autofill” to choose the center point of the radius. Then use the slider to increase or decrease the radius (minimum is 50 miles).
