Central to TMO's mission is the collection, processing, and sharing of data on Texas metros. Extensive data exist, but it is not always readily accessible or digestable. TMO has developed expertise on Texas data, and has begun to share data via online dashboards. Navigate to the People, Land, and Water pages to see our first prototypes.

People
In People, we analyze socio-demographic trends on diversity, education, poverty, and more, revealing several trends about the people of metropolitan Texas.
Land
In Land, the physical expansion of metros is analyzed against population growth, density, and imperviousness, finding that growth is both more efficient and increasingly intense.
Water
In Water, consumption patterns are examined by source and end-use, finding decreasing water use per capita; however, increasing population growth will outpace efficiency improvements.
Texas Social Vulnerability
Analysis of the sensitivity of a population to natural hazards and its ability to respond to and recover from the impacts of hazards.
Austin Climate Vulnerability
Combines analysis of social vulnerability with exposure to climate-driven hazards into an integrated analysis.
Tableau
We use Tableau data analytics software to create online dashboards embedded into the TMO website. For more info, visit the Tableau website.
