The Social and Economic Assessment Model (SEAM) is the descriptive name of a series of submodels and data bases that have recently been integrated and computerized. These components were developed as a natural consequence of long involvement in the prediction and assessment of the local social, economic, and institutional changes accompanying energy development. The data and models of SEAM can be used either independently or interactively to provide the following outputs for any county or combination of counties in the continental United States: (1) annual projections of population by age, sex, and race; (2) annual direct employment requirements of most forms of energy extraction and conversion facilities; (3) annual estimates of indirect (secondary) employment requirements created by the presence of the new energy or industrial facility; (4) annual projections of the locally available work force; (5) annual projections and characterizations of in-migrating worker households induced to the county by the new facility; (6) annual housing needs and the sub-county spatial allocation of this new population; (7) annual public service requirements of the new induced population; and (8) estimates of the annual public costs of providing these additional public services.
