Grand Fir Analytics (GFA)

Grand Fir Analytics (GFA) was established in 2020 by Dr. Vange Hochheimer in response to the demand for applied research, data analytics, feasibility studies, cost-benefit analysis, and impact analysis across Washington State and beyond. GFA uses statistical tools and analysis that empower businesses, nonprofits, and governmental organizations to make informed decisions about labor, infrastructure, housing, land use, environmental resources, and other important decisions that impact people’s livelihoods and economic activity. GFA is headquartered in Spokane, Washington. Our work includes data analytics on demand, peer-reviewed studies on economic policy impacts, technical reports on housing policy, economic and revenue forecasts, infrastructure, food insecurity, environmental policy, education policy, and much more.
