Abstract
Pull factors can provide Extension professionals with an easily calculated tool to assist communitites in gauging their economic health. Using a simple ratio formula and data readily available from the census or state agencies, pull factors provide a snapshot of a community's economic condition. Data obtained by the analysis can assist communities to develop action plans to improve local conditions.
