The Texas County Information Project

TAC's County Information Project (CIP) is a central clearinghouse for county-related information. Partnerships with the U.S. Bureau of the Census, the Texas State Data Center and other agencies provide much of the raw data, which CIP then turns into comprehensible information.

CIP regularly answers questions using data on hand, such as "what counties are comparable to mine based upon population, geographic size, tax rates, etc.?" A large part of this information is available on TAC's web site (Basic Data). The CIP can also prepare custom reports and maps at the request of county officials, the legislature, state and federal agencies, and individuals.
