SCORP Data Methods Guide

SORP · May 6, 2026

The SCORP Data Methods Guide identifies common quantitative methods to understand recreation supply.

This guide primarily focuses on quantitative data methodologies that inform the supply analysis. It also includes methods for site-specific data collection, which may be needed to ground truth big data (e.g., cell phone, social media) or to support site-specific investments.  See the companion SCORP Public Engagement guide for qualitative data related to demand analysis.
