Economic Indicators

For Economic Indicators from January 2019 to present, please refer to the Planning Department Research Division's Economic Indicators Dashboard. This interactive dashboard visualizes regularly updated, current data on the Labor Market, Mobility, Economic Activity, Real Estate Market and Development for Boston citywide as well as for four of its Commercial Hubs.

The City of Boston Planning Department, formerly known as the Boston Planning and Development Agency (BPDA), is tasked with planning for and guiding inclusive growth within the City of Boston. As part of this mission, the Planning Department Research Division collects and analyzes a variety of economic data relating to topics such as employment, housing, travel, and real estate development. This is a legacy dataset of economic indicators tracked monthly between January 2013 and December 2019..
