Headwaters Economics
@RoySmith: Hoping I can have one more crack at the WP:THREE. The last time I listed major news media whose articles relied on Headwaters Economics (HE) research. Those were viewed as passing mentions so I'm listing three URLs, from a major .gov (NOAA), .edu (U. of Wisc.), and NPO (NRDC), entirely devoted to an HE tool or report, — i.e., not at all a passing mention.
- NOAA: Headwaters Economics Announces Updates to Neighborhoods at Risk Tool
- U. of Wisc: Headwaters Economics: Shawano County Data
- NRDC: Planning for Montana’s Energy Transition: New Report Out by Headwaters Economics

Headwaters Economics is an independent, nonpartisan, American research group[2] founded in 2006, headquartered in Bozeman, Montana, with an office in Helena, Montana. Among the issues they study are the value of public lands[3][4] , tax policy[5] related to the energy industry[6] and county payments[7], and the relationship between wildfire[8] and the wildland–urban interface[9]
Research tools[edit]
Headwaters Economics releases publicly available research, community-planning, and land-management tools. In collaboration with public and private agencies, the organization produced several resources for climate change adaptation and vulnerable populations[10]: Socioeconomics and Climate Change in the Great Lakes Region is an interactive map developed with the University of Michigan’s Graham Sustainability Institute[11]. Using Economics to Support Climate Adaptation is a report funded by the Climate Program Office[12] of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Data visualizations, including The Value of Public Lands and the Three Wests, were produced in partnership with Tableau Software[13]. The Community Planning Assistance for Wildfire program, co-managed by Wildfire Planning International, is supported by the United States Forest Service[14]
Their web-based Economic Profile System[15][16] generates socioeconomic reports about states, counties, and communities[17] . The (free) reports include information on demographics, local economies, land use, tourism, and agriculture, based on regularly updated data from the United States Census Bureau, Bureau of Economic Analysis, Department of the Interior, and Department of Agriculture. The Economic Profile System is funded by the United States Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, and the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust.
The Trails Benefits Library[18] is a collection of more than 100 studies on the impacts of public trails on regional businesses, health, and quality of life. Headwaters Economics also has a Populations at Risk[19] research tool to help identify regions more susceptible to adverse social, health, or economic outcomes due to factors such as race, age, gender, and poverty. Another online tool, Neighborhoods at Risk[20], assesses the vulnerability of at-risk people to climate change.
Policy influence[edit]
The organization provides consulting services to communities and governments[21]. Their research results are cited in articles by national media outlets, such as The Washington Post[22], The New York Times[23], and NPR[24]. Their economists provide testimony to governmental agencies, like the United States House of Representatives[25] and the Montana Legislature[26]
Funding[edit]
Revenue for Headwaters Economics projects comes from contracts with federal agencies (e.g., the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and Forest Service), grants from charitable foundations, and contract work for partner organizations.
