Ozark foothills regional profile

Abstract

"This is an update of the first regional profile prepared by the Department of Regional and Community Affairs. It is hoped that the statistical data and brief analysis will assist communities and regions in evaluating trends occuring in their areas, and in assessing their strengths, weaknesses, and potentials. It is also hoped that these profiles will fortify the concept of planning and working together on a regional basis. The U.S. Bureau of the Census, with its variety of documents, has served as one of the major basic sources for this profile. It should be recognized, however, that census data can reflect only a general and somewhat limited m.easure of the occurrences in a region. Census data at ten-year intervals cannot reflect the highest or lowest levels within that time span. All tables have been prepared by the Department of Regional and Community Affairs of the University of Missouri-Columbia and are documented by sources and dates. There are twenty regional planning districts in Missouri. The Missouri Department of Consumer Affairs, Regulation and Licensing, Jefferson City, acts as a link between the regional planning districts and federal and state supportive agencies. The Ozark Foothills Regional Planning Commission Office address is P.O. Box 123, Ellsinore, Missouri 63937."--Preface.
