WHAT WE ARE
Data Experts Committed to Inclusive Progress
Our Approach
At Hilgard Economics, we believe that data is only powerful when it’s put into context—and into action. Our approach is rooted in combining rigorous economic and planning analysis with an equity-centered lens. We don’t just interpret data; we translate it into strategies that work in the real world.
Every project begins with listening—understanding the unique needs, goals, and challenges of our clients and the communities they serve. We then apply advanced tools, localized insights, and cross-sector expertise to deliver research that is clear, actionable, and grounded in lived realities. Whether shaping a development strategy, evaluating policy impact, or forecasting labor trends, we turn complexity into clarity to help our partners make smarter, more equitable decisions.
MISSION
Hilgard Economics is an equity-centered economic consulting and planning firm committed to turning complex data into clarity. We deliver deep, actionable insights that help governments, businesses, and nonprofits make informed decisions across real estate, labor markets, economic development, and public policy.
We believe data is a tool for transformation—not just measurement. By combining advanced analytics with community knowledge, we help clients design strategies that reflect real-world needs and drive long-term, inclusive growth.
VISION
We envision a future where every major economic and planning decision is grounded in data, guided by equity, and shaped for lasting impact. Our work is rooted in the belief that inclusive, resilient communities emerge when public policy, private investment, and local priorities move in alignment.
At Hilgard Economics, we see complexity as opportunity. By connecting insight with action, we help our partners create places where economic progress is shared, sustainable, and accessible to all.
