INDIVIDUAL PEER REGIONS<br />
The other portion of this report focused on population, GRP, and manufacturing industries for<br />
cities to be compared solely with <strong>Clarksville</strong>. <strong>Clarksville</strong> was benchmarked against all other<br />
cities in the U.S., using the previously mentioned parameters and the following algorithm. Let x<br />
= desired economic unit of comparison and y = the <strong>Clarksville</strong> equivalent of that economic unit<br />
of comparison and z = the solution. Where (x/y) – 1 = z, 1 – (ABS (z)) = i, where i = an index between<br />
0.00 and 1.00, where 1.00 is the best possible outcome and 0.00 is the worst. These formulas were<br />
tailored to place all the weight of comparison on <strong>Clarksville</strong>. The nearer the solution to 1.00, the<br />
more similar a region is to <strong>Clarksville</strong>.<br />
Per these requirements, and the individual industry specifications of <strong>Clarksville</strong>, 5 peer regions<br />
were found. Table 21 is set up much like Table 19, as it compares all industries within all the peer<br />
regions with those in <strong>Clarksville</strong>. Likewise, Table 22 is set up in the same fashion as Table 20, as it<br />
shows data for the manufacturing industries when comparing peer regions to each other.<br />
