This study was conducted to: monitor selected social and economic variables over time; compare actual measured changes with projected changes in an attempt to isolate reasons for discrepancies; analyze measured changes to determine which are related to energy development, which can be generalized to any rapidly growing community, and which are site-specific; make the results of the monitoring and analysis available to planners throughout the region in the form of both written reports and a computerized model for impact projections. This volume compares socio-economic changes occurring in McLean Co., ND and Platte County, WY with those predicted for each county and with changes in two non-impacted counties, Kimball County, NE and Wheatland County, MT. The purpose is to estimate types and magnitudes of socio-economic changes that occur under the condition of large-scale energy development.
