Providing a practical, application-focused introduction to the statistical tools used in urban and regional planning. Written for students and practitioners, the book emphasizes how quantitative methods support real-world planning decisions-from analyzing demographic trends to evaluating policy alternatives. Thomas R. Willemain presents core statistical concepts in a clear, accessible way, illustrating each method with planning-relevant examples. Topics include data description, probability, sampling, estimation, hypothesis testing, regression, forecasting, and the interpretation of uncertainty in planning contexts. Designed as both a textbook and a professional reference, the book helps planners develop the analytical skills needed to interpret data, build defensible arguments, and make evidence-based decisions in complex environments.
