Did you know that Tysons, which at 3.3 square miles in size is less than 1% of Fairfax County’s 407 square miles, accounts for 10% of the county’s sales tax revenue? Or that there are 29,000 residents here, a population projected to grow almost 5% annually through 2030? Or that there is over 65 million square feet of additional development approved in Tysons?
Well, now you can learn these facts, and much more, at the Tysons DataHub, a new and totally free online resource developed and maintained by the Tysons Community Alliance (TCA). This innovative and insightful tool was announced in June at our first annual meeting.

The user-friendly DataHub is a comprehensive platform that provides users with a holistic understanding of the area’s market conditions through dynamic metrics, graphs, and interactive visualizations. Continually updated from a range of public- and private-sector sources, as well as the TCA’s own research, the DataHub serves as a one-stop location for exploring Tysons’ current market, economic development, workforce, and demographic landscape.
Even since its launch a few weeks ago, the site has been updated with Q2 data, reflecting the most current numbers for a host of diverse stats like office vacancy, hotel occupancy, and visitation. And there have already been a few DataHub improvements:
- a new Trends button feature reveals the changes in several key market stats over the past four years;
- a new retail recovery metric which compares the most recent quarter’s visitation data to the same quarter in 2019;
- and the site has been tweaked for a better user experience on mobile devices.
The TCA is committed to continually improving the DataHub, so if you believe something’s missing from the data or see other enhancements that could be made, just click the smiley face on the right side of the webpage and send us your ideas and comments.
Now that the DataHub is up and running, this fall the TCA will launch its first official quarterly report, a streamlined print version of the DataHub dashboard built around emerging themes. Each report launch will feature a free “brown-bag lunch” webinar event that will include a market update from a key private-sector stakeholder.
Whether you’re a resident, business owner, developer, investor, or simply curious to learn more about the area, the Tysons DataHub offers the data-driven insights you need to know. By having the most up-to-date information, TCA — and all of Tysons’ stakeholders — are able to make the most informed decisions.
