Your area’s paint-by-number

The ELCA makes demographic reports available by zip code to help ELCA congregations gain a general understanding of their community and to plan mission using that information. With the ELCA website’s update, I just recently re-located the portal to obtain demographic reports and thought I’d share it with you:

www.elca.org/Our-Work/Congregations-and-Synods/Research-and-Evaluation/Demographic-Reports .

The reports include projection of population in your area for 2014, pattern changes, age distribution, education attainment, employment.. it’s a great look into the neighborhood of your ministry. Hope you find it helpful.
