Student Demographic Report
It is hard for many professionals to know where to steer their lives and careers. It is like being on a big motorcycle with a full tank of gas and no idea where to take it.

The Student Demographic Report was created as a way for dental students and recent graduates to get an overview of a community at a significantly reduced fee. There are three big differences between the Student Demographic Report and the Community Overview Report:

  1. Less Data – This Report is about 1/3 shorter.
  2. No Original Analysis – Rather than a customized analysis by a demographer, the Report has only broad guidelines to interpret the data.
  3. No Hard Copy – This Report is ONLY available via the Internet. A PDF copy of the Report is attached to an E-mail to the Purchaser. It is the responsibility of the Purchaser to provide an e-mail address that can accept large attachments. Acrobat Reader is most often used to open PDF documents.
Still, it is a cutting-edge tool to evaluate a community, a site, or a region for a dental practice.

Just like the Community Overview Report, it is divided into three parts:

  • Competition
  • Demographics
  • Maps

The Report is written so dental professionals can understand the implications of the data that is revealed from THEIR perspective.

The Area-of-Study normally consists of up to 14 Zip Codes. For specialists, this may include slightly more. If desired, we can provide a depiction of the Effective Practice Area if the client will fax to us the number of patients per Zip Code.

Competition

The ratio of dentist-to-population is examined. For dental specialists, this includes an analysis of the referral base relative to the area of study or practice site. Another map is included that shows the distribution of dentists around the Area of Study.

Our consideration of competition takes into account both individual dentists and dental practices. We draw upon several databases to determine the number of dentists including Component/Constituent Dental Society, Donnelly Databases, Select Data, and yellow page directories.

Demographics

The key demographic statistics are presented in color graph and chart formats. The information includes a prose analysis of why a particular bit of data might be important for a dental practice in a given site. The data includes:
  • Population
  • Projected Population
  • Household Size
  • Race and Ethnic Breakout (Including Hispanic Breakout)
  • Median Age
  • Age Breakout
  • Median Income
  • Income by Percentage (Breakout)
  • Households
  • Age by Percentage
  • Per Capita Income
  • Median and Average Household Income
  • Competition Ratio

Maps Included
  • Geographic Overview (Including streets, landmarks, and major transportation arteries.)
  • Zip Code Boundaries
  • Competition Location (Including site and competing practices.)

Charts and Graphs

We include 8 charts including Population, Growth, Households, Per Capita Income, Median Income, Income Breakout Age, Ethnicity and Dentist-to-Population Ratio.

Ordering

To order a report, all we need is the address of the practice, practice type (general, cosmetic, specialty, etc) and shipping address. When ordering, please tell us as much as you can about how you want to use this information.  We may be able to provide some additional ideas in the cover E-mail.

The Student Demographic Report costs $225.00 for up to 14 Zip Codes. If the Client wants a hard copy, there is a $6.00 additional charge.
