Another use of the data involves plotting the single piece of information pertaining to a qualification criterion that has been established by EDA, HUD, or some other federal agency onto the time series generated in the formula section. The data section may also be of direct interest, particularly when access to the actual data series is required. For example, the user may wish to chart the amount of money or number of people in a given category by year, rather than chart the rate differences defined in the formula section. These and other uses of the data will provide the user with alternative ways of defining and assessing county level distress provide the user with the statistical data needed to generate their own distress measures. The ADMG was designed and compiled by Paul R. Zelus and Nancy L. Kelly of the Center for Business Research at Idaho State University with the assistance of the Economic Development Administration and the Idaho Rural Development Council.
