A demographic and psychographic report of your community within a specified radius of your location.

Demographics looks at the statistical characteristics of a specified population and includes age, gender, income levels, spending habits and ethnicity. These attributes are often external features not related to what a person believes or how a person behaves.

Psychographics include motivations, beliefs, and priorities. These attributes are often internal features that are impossible to know without asking. This is data that cannot be derived from census data or market reports.

A congregational inventory survey designed to discover the readiness of a church to move to greater health and have a greater impact on their community.  Key leaders select several key people from various demographics within the congregation to complete the survey.  A written report is prepared assimilating all the data provided in the survey.
