Level 1 Asset Mapping For North Texas Region vii

I. INTRODUCTION

Forward The Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area is currently the fourth largest in the United States, boasting almost 6.5 million residents and a workforce of more than three million in a 16-county region. Since 1970, no other section of the country has added as many people and jobs as north central Texas. Over the past 12 months alone, DFW has gained over 91,000 jobs, more than any other metropolitan region. Many factors have contributed to the region’s phenomenal economic gains. A favorable climate, affordable housing, a relatively low cost of doing business, well- maintained physical infrastructure, and a rapidly growing workforce have all contributed to the area’s success. But just as important is the fact that DFW’s business and political leaders have never rested on the region’s economic laurels but have always focused on being prepared to capitalize on future growth opportunities. Another important factor in DFW’s economic prowess has been the recognition that while the region is comprised of 16 counties and hundreds of cities, the success of each depends on the success of all. In short, north central Texas is a very economically interdependent region. To that end—perhaps more than any other part of the U.S.— north Texas has created dozens of regional development organizations, such as the North Texas Commission, the North Central Texas Council of Governments, the Dallas- Fort Worth Hospital Council, the Greater Dallas Chamber of Commerce, the Technology Business Council, County and Multi-County Workforce Boards, and many more. These organizations focus on marketing the region’s strengths and developing strategies for improving the region’s weaknesses. The Asset Mapping Roadmap project, commissioned by the U.S. Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration (ETA), recognizes that further linkages among these various groups can provide additional guidance to business and political leaders in north Texas and help strengthen the region’s competitive position in the global economy during the decades ahead. A consortium of workforce development boards in the North Central Texas Council of Governments region contracted with a research team from the University of North Texas (UNT). The research team was comprised of staff from UNT’s Center for Economic Development and the Survey Research Center. The research team implemented selected portions of the Level 1 Asset Mapping for the ETA’s Workforce Innovation in Regional Economic Development (WIRED) initiative. In the following report, north Texas’ core assets are identified and cataloged with consideration toward developing a full-blown asset roadmap for the region. Estimates of the costs of producing the Level 2 and Level 3 portions of the road map are also included (see Appendix A).

Level 1 Asset Mapping For North Texas Region 1

Scope of the Study The WIRED Asset Mapping methodology consists of three levels. Level 1, “asset identification,” involves listing the various assets of a region. Assets include human capital, financial capital, industries, legal and regulatory environments, physical infrastructure, and quality of life components in the defined region. The region defined for inclusion in this study is the 16-county North Central Texas Council of Governments region (COG region). Time constraints and/or data availability limited the research team’s ability to include the entire COG region for all data items. In instances where all counties are not included, data are presented for the metropolitan area—usually Dallas and Tarrant county unless otherwise stated. In addition to considerations of region, the data were also focused toward specific industries and disciplines. The industries that are most relevant to the study are aerospace, health care, logistics, semi-conductors and education. These industries are considered in conjunction with “STEM disciplines” (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) when narrowing the focus of some of the data items in the study. The current project also provides an estimate and work plan for performing Level 2 and Level 3 activities. Level 2 will be the basic evaluation of the assets cataloged in Level 1 using secondary research and some primary research. This level provides for the assessment of strengths and weaknesses of the assets and for the identification of any gaps in the regional integration of those assets. Level 3 takes the analysis a step further with a comprehensive assessment. This level is accomplished mostly through primary data collection including interviews of key informants and surveys of businesses and other organizations. The focus of Level 3 is to get local leadership perspectives on the value of different assets, describe the linkages among regional assets, and understand the underlying business culture of the local community.

Approach Project officially began on September 6 when the research team discussed the project approach with representatives from a consortium of COG region workforce development boards. Since the research team had approximately three weeks to finish the Level 1 Asset Mapping project, the discussion focused on which assets would be examined, at what depth the analysis would proceed, and the geographic scope that would be involved for each data item. The data items were also prioritized so that some were dropped from inclusion in this phase. The final set of data items included as assets are listed in Reference Table 1.

Report Format The purpose of this report is to provide the reader with an overview of each asset provided in Reference Table 1. Descriptive and summarizing information is included under headings and subheadings. Tables offer two formats. The first is a reference table which usually presents lists of assets with basic information such as contact information. Data tables are the second, more descriptive format that provides some additional level of analysis. Whenever the information is too extensive for this summary report, more detailed listings are provided in accompanying spreadsheets. Appendix B includes a listing of all report-related spreadsheets and the information contained in each.

* Each of these data items was a low priority item that was de-emphasized or dropped from the Level 1 analysis. These items may be examined in Level 2 and Level 3 in a future study. 1 Wage structure and Utilities were the only items in the Legal and Regulatory Environment grouping that were addressed in this Level 1 assessment. Since wage structure fit better with human capital assets and utilities could be associated with physical infrastructure, each was moved to those respective sections and a section on Legal and Regulatory Environment is omitted from this study.

II. HUMAN CAPITAL

Introduction Human capital is the key for the success of any business operation particularly in this age of information-based economies. This section includes a description of key human capital elements in the COG region beginning with educational system of K-12 public schools, community colleges, colleges and universities and technical schools. Workforce systems, wage and occupational structures, and centers for innovation are also presented in this section.

Education The educational system reflects a region’s readiness to train the workforce of existing and relocating businesses. The COG region is comprised of dozens of school districts providing K-12 education. Community colleges, universities and technical schools offer post-secondary opportunities. This section summarizes the range of educational opportunities in the STEM disciplines throughout the region.

K-12

School districts provide a range of educational programs for students ranging from standard core subjects to vocational education. Distinct populations are served through programs such as English as a Second Language, special education, or advanced placement courses. For the purposes of this assessment, the research team focused specifically on magnet schools that offer distinctive curriculum or instructional approaches in the STEM disciplines. The Dallas ISD Science and Engineering Magnet was recognized on Newsweek’s listing of top high schools in the country ranking second in a list of 1,346 schools. The rankings were based on indicators that a high school was preparing its students to attend college. A total of 47 area high schools made the list. Several magnet schools exist in the COG region. School districts were contacted for detailed information about magnet schools offering coursework in the STEM disciplines. At the time of publication, these efforts have not resulted in sufficient information to present in the report. The accompanying spreadsheets include listings of all area schools and the Newsweek rankings. Magnet school listings will need to be part of the Level 2 analysis.

Community Colleges Several community college districts operate in the COG region (see Reference Table 2). Programs of specialization are most numerous in the area of computer and information sciences and health professions (see Data Table 1). Data Tables 2 through 4 detail some of the specific programs. A complete listing of community college location, contact information and programs by college is provided in the accompanying spreadsheets.

Workforce

Available Workforce In this section we examine specified characteristics of the local population. Most of the data are presented in map form to better show certain population characteristics are spread across the North Central Texas region. Unless otherwise noted, data for the following figures are from AGS, a purveyor of geographic and demographic data, and are estimates for 2004.

The maps included in this section of the report are:

• Population by Census Tract: The geographic size of a census tract is revised after each national census. Therefore, you will note the size of tracts outside the urban cores can be quite large.

• Population Density per Square Mile by Census Tract: This map shows more clearly the geographic distribution of the population in the NCTCOG region.

• Median Age by Census Tract: “young urban core” is the best descriptor for the distribution of population by age in this region. This map can assist in demonstrating potential differences in public services demanded and the availability of specific segments of the local labor pool.

• Average Household Income by Census Tract: The region is also characterized by clear concentrations of wealth, a common phenomenon. This map should be considered in conjunction with age distributions in the region.

• Population with at least an Associates Degree by Census Tract: One of two maps showing the geographic distribution of educational attainment – a key factor in site locations for some industries.

• Population with at least a Bachelors Degree by Census Tract: Second of our two maps on educational attainment.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau and Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2005, the median age in DFW was 32.9 while the U.S. average was 36. In addition, 25.8 percent of DFW residents were Hispanic compared to 13.9 of the total U.S. population. Record employment expansion drove population growth in DFW in the "roaring '90s" when half of all new residents were either domestic or foreign migrants to the area.

• In 2005, 53 percent of the DFW population was below 35 years of age; this percentage is estimated to decrease only slightly by 2010. • Since 1990, educational attainment of the DFW population has risen at both high school and college levels. • The majority of the population resides in Dallas and Tarrant counties (67.2 percent). Collin and Denton counties combine to contribute 20.9 percent to the total population, with the remaining eight counties contributing the remaining 11.9 percent.

Wage Structures This section offers a combination of data points. The first uses occupation-by- industry data available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to examine demand for key occupations within each of the industries targeted for special consideration by the Tarrant County Workforce Board. These data are based on national average employment by industry. For purposes of this report, we show only those occupations that make up at least one percent of total demand for each industry. National median annual earnings for 2004 are also shown for specific occupations. These employment data are then compared to the number of individuals residing in the Dallas-Irving-Plano and Fort Worth-Arlington Metropolitan Divisions that are employed in that particular occupation, in any industry. This approach effectively provides a measure of labor force availability in the Metroplex that would be needed by firms in the target industries. Within two of these industries there are some notable holes in the available data. For example, there are no data for certain occupations in the air-logistics occupations in an area of the Metroplex where we know there is substantial employment. There are any number of reasons that these data may be masked. Data Table 18 Labor Demand, Supply and Wages Aerospace

Incubators Incubators are typically public/private non-profit collaborations which assist new companies through the first few years of existence. During this period, client companies receive mentoring, consulting, and a variety of other assistance. While in the incubator, one of the client company’s objectives is to secure long term funding for future growth. The technical incubators and their participants represent some of the finest technical minds in the industry.

Incubator client companies will ultimately create high wage, high demand positions in the community. Thus, they are an important indicator of the technical vitality of the city or region. Reference Table 6 is a list of several incubators in the DFW area.

III. FINANCIAL CAPITAL

Introduction Availability of financial capital is key to the establishment and expansion of businesses in any region. The COG region has access to several local and national sources of financial capital. The sections that follow detail the following sources: venture capital, commercial banks, philanthropic organizations, and government programs.

Venture Capital Venture capital firms in the NCTCOG area and around the United States have made sizable investments in North Central Texas businesses in recent years. A search of the on-line yellow pages (http://www.yellowbook.com) turned up 42 such firms in 4 counties: Collin, Dallas, Rockwall and Tarrant. In addition, the Dallas Business Journal 2007 Book of Lists provided 40 more firms that had invested in businesses in the area. Many of these firms were located in Massachusetts, California, New York, Colorado, Tennessee, and Illinois. Internet, information technology, healthcare, and wireless technology were the primary targeted sectors or industries of these investments, which ranged from $50 million to $7.5 million per project (not per investment firm). A sample of the firms that have made investments in the North Central Texas area is shown in Reference Table 8, see the Venture Capital spreadsheet for additional firms.

Commercial Banks In addition to venture capital firms that invest in the initial stages of a business’s development, commercial banks can provide the life’s blood for everyday financial operations through business loans. The Dallas Business Journal’s Book of Lists referenced 25 of the largest Metroplex banks and savings institutions located in Collin, Dallas, Kaufman and Tarrant counties. Some banks were established in the area as long ago as 1873 (Bank of America NA) and some as recently as 2005 (Citibank Texas NA). All have at least one branch office in the Metroplex, while several have over 100 branches. A sample of these banks is shown in Data Table 23.

Philanthropic Organizations An important part of any community is the people and organizations that produce good works. Typically these are private or corporate foundations that have a specific mission and focus, such as education or health care. Theses foundations grant monies to worthy causes each year. Reference Table 9 shows a brief list of some of the larger corporate and private foundations in the DFW area.

Government Programs The Small Business Administration provides a variety of services and assistance to small business through a number of specific-task partners. For instance, Certified Development Corporations (CDC) have been created for specific tasks, such as economic development of an underserved area. CDC’s provide growing businesses with long-term, fixed-rate financing for major fixed assets, such as land and buildings.

There are a number of SBA lenders who will provide below market interest rate loans via the guarantee provided by the SBA. The SBA regularly rates these lenders. Reference Table 10 shows a partial list as of September 2007, including those lenders that SBA put into the top tier. See the Texas Incentive Programs spreadsheet for additional program providers.

IV. INDUSTRIAL BASE

Introduction The industrial base of the COG region is comprised of both large and small employers. Seeing how these employers are spread over the region by industry cluster can assist companies considering relocation to the COG region. This section presents geographic mapping of employers in selected industry clusters. Recognition of awarded small businesses is also included in this section. Chambers of commerce are highlighted as business networking organizations.

Major Employers Employers with a minimum of 250 full-time and part-time employees are considered major employers by the NCTCOG. The top five employers in each county are listed in Data Table 24 and are based on location. Consequently, several employers with multiple sites in a single county are listed several times (i.e. Wal-Mart Supercenters). Several counties had fewer than five employers that met the criteria. For a complete list, see the Major Employers spreadsheet. Data Table 24 Major Employers
