Workforce Inflow/Outflow Movement in Our Communities

The latest inflow/outflow data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s OnTheMap program is now available for all 16 municipalities within Volusia County. Employment inflow/outflow data highlights the movement of workers into and out of selected geographies. Census inflow/outflow diagrams show employment within a local community and indicate whether that community is a net importer or exporter of workers. With each annual release of this data, Volusia County Economic Development generates a summary report for each of the 16 municipalities within Volusia County.

The employment data used in this application are derived from payroll tax (unemployment insurance) payment records maintained by each state. The states assign employer locations (Quarterly Census of Employment & Wages QCEW data), while individual worker home locations are assigned by the U.S. Census Bureau using data from multiple Federal agencies. Age, earnings, and industry profiles are compiled using each state’s records along with other supplemental Census Bureau source data. Final compilations and confidentiality modeling is performed by the Census Bureau. OnTheMap contains annual historical data for 2002 through 2020 for most participating states.
