This city's local economy, measured.
Including what nobody is measuring yet.

Industry mix, workforce capacity, and structural gaps are all measurable from public data. A fourth layer is not. This report shows all four — including what remains unmeasured, and why.

Three of these four layers can be measured from public data. The fourth — the one that decides whether a struggling business gets help from a community member who could provide it — is the layer no existing economic infrastructure measures.

What's Measurable
Demand
Industry mix by NAICS. Establishment density. Formation and closure rates.
Texas Comptroller · Census SUSB · BLS QCEW
Supply
Workforce skills by census tract. Educational attainment. Occupational distribution.
Census ACS · Workforce Solutions for Tarrant County
Mismatch
Where industry need and workforce capacity don't align. Where formation rates outpace survival.
Computed from demand and supply layers.
What's Not
Contribution Capacity
Who in the community would help, mentor, support, or train. What capacity exists that no transaction would ever surface.
No public infrastructure measures this. The NIEA app, launched in 2026, is the first attempt.
