Why does a student who wants to be planner need to study statistics and methods of planning analysis?
Planners use and assess a wide variety of data in their work; it is necessary for all planners to have the basic skills to understand such concepts as tax incremental financing local government budgets, impact fees, and population forecasts to aid in informed decision-making. Furthermore, planners must interact regularly with other analysts (economists, demographers, etc.) who provide analysis to decision makers.
