CSSP - Deployment Demographics Mapping
Analysis – Mapping and Deployment Demographic Data
CSSP programs are guided by use of an integrated systems approach. Leveraging its former home at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the CSSP team used analytical tools ranging from GIS mapping to statistical analysis to map the deployment demographic information of Service Members (AD, RC and recent AD Separations) down to the community level. CSSP researchers provide answers on pertinent policy questions about adequacy and access to services from DoD, the VA, or other service delivery systems and allows CSSP to help its partners target training and other interventions to the needs of the community.
In cooperation with the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC), data sets were provided and maps were updated twice a year. The maps were stratified by branch of service and component and created for each state.
While demonstrating the need…CSSP could show that only 27 of the 3141 counties in the country had no Reserve Component Service Members deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan.
Maps were created to show where current Active Duty, Reserve Component, and Recently Discharged Service Members and their families live.
CSSP built sets for each state.
