The analytical infrastructure behind every engagement — Census, FRED, state appropriations data, and more
Alt-30 Consulting is an independent economic intelligence firm. We produce discrete, high-quality research engagements each built around a specific decision a client is trying to make involving a local economy or municipal budget.
What sets us apart: we built, from scratch, a proprietary longitudinal municipal finance database covering 500+ cities and towns nationwide, integrated with Census, FRED, and state appropriations data. That infrastructure, combined with doctoral-level economics expertise and deep public sector experience, separates our analysis from off-the-shelf consulting.
Every deliverable is independently produced with no vendor relationships or conflicts of interest. Our work is backed by PoliMetrics, our independent research platform publishing evidence-based analysis on fiscal policy, federal funding trends, and local government finance across the US.
