WOODS & POOLE ECONOMICS, INC.

Woods & Poole Economics, Inc. specializes in advanced demographic modeling and population estimation methodologies for public health and social science research. The firm leverages statistical techniques to derive granular, sub-county population estimates from U.S. Census Bureau data, enabling precise cancer surveillance and health equity analyses. Their technical expertise includes spatial interpolation, demographic projection models, and data harmonization across census geographies, with a focus on producing reliable, policy-relevant outputs for health surveillance systems. The company’s key differentiator lies in its ability to translate complex census datasets into actionable public health metrics, particularly for cancer registry applications requiring high-resolution population denominators. The contractor has demonstrated direct engagement with the Department of Health and Human Services, delivering analytical services that support national cancer control initiatives. Their work supports HHS’s mission to improve health outcomes through data-driven epidemiology, particularly in underserved or hard-to-count populations. This relationship reflects a focused alignment with HHS agencies engaged in surveillance, statistics, and health disparities research. Woods & Poole Economics operates primarily within NAICS 541720, which encompasses social science and humanities research, specifically applied demography and health statistics. Their market positioning centers on niche, evidence-based analytics for federal health programs, distinguishing them through methodological rigor in population estimation rather than broad survey or policy evaluation services. As a small business structured as a 2L entity headquartered in Washington, D.C., the firm maintains a lean, specialized presence in the federal research market. While currently holding no formal government certifications, its geographic proximity to federal health agencies and deep domain expertise in demographic modeling position it as a trusted provider for data-intensive, mission-critical analyses in public health research.
