5 DEMOGRAPHICS AND LOGISTICS POPULATION CENTROID 5

6 DEMOGRAPHICS AND LOGISTICS POPULATION CENTROID More than half of national growth continues to be in three states, California, Texas, and Florida." Since 1950 there has been a pronounced "sunbelt shift" to population, with over 90% of national growth since the eighties going to the South and the West, at the expense of the older, more settled regions of the Midwest and Northeast. The South and West now have more than 56% of the 6 nation's population.

8 DEMOGRAPHICS AND LOGISTICS FREIGHT DELIVERY The Panama Canal expansion in due to be completed in % of the world s consumer market is located outside of North America Source: US Census Bureau, Werner Enterprises Battle of the Railroads has already begun with the battle ground being the Ohio River Valley in the Upper Midwest which is at the heart of the United States population 8 center

9 U.S. MSAS Since 1950, MSAs have grown from 56% of national population to 80%. By far most of the growth in MSAs since the eighties has occurred in suburban areas, as city centers have actually declined in population. MSAs were roughly 50% suburban and 50% urban in 1950; now that ratio is closer to two-thirds suburban, and is rising. Despite the emphasis on MSAs, they are losing population to non-metropolitan areas - often to those rural areas on the fringes of metropolitan complexes. Source: USDOT/FHA 9

10 MID-AMERICA LOGISTICS HUBS Modern Logistics Hub characteristics: typically are MSAs with significant Multi-Modal access and high freight volumes actually in or have easy access to major population centers (consumers) have Global market access some are Ports / Inland Ports or are strategically located between major markets all must have and maintain significant freight infrastructures as a result Hubs have attracted and retained significant logistics related activities carriers (trucking companies, railroads, air cargo, shipping lines) logistics firms and specialized logistics related labor: brokers, freight forwarders, freight management, customs brokers, warehouse workers logistics support activities: real estate firms, construction firms, financial institutions, insurance companies, government support agencies attract significant, diversified HUBS optimize Efficiencies and Costs amounts of Manufacturing and 10 Warehouse/Distribution facilities
