Work With Me
Municipalities, state agencies, nonprofits, and research teams need more than raw data—they need evidence-based insights that drive better policy decisions. I help translate complex administrative data, econometric models, and policy research into clear, actionable analysis.
I’m Dallin Overstreet, a public policy researcher and data analyst specializing in social safety net programs, state and local government finance, and policy diffusion. My research has been published in Urban Affairs Review, Public Finance Review, Public Budgeting & Finance, and others. Through PoliMetrics, I bring rigorous, evidence-based policy analysis to broader audiences, because good policy deserves good data..

Here’s a repository of some examples of projects I’ve worked on.
Pricing
Every project is unique, but here’s a general guide:
Hourly consulting: $125-150/hour, with flexibility for longer-term partnerships and mission-driven organizations
Interactive dashboards & data tools: Typically $5,000-$15,000+ depending on complexity, platform (R Shiny, Tableau, Streamlit), data integration needs, and customization requirements
Policy analysis projects: From $3,000-$12,000+, varying by scope, data requirements, and modeling complexity
Program evaluation: Did this program/policy work? What was its impact?
Impact forecasting: What will happen if we implement this policy?
Trend analysis: How have outcomes changed over time, and what’s driving those changes?
Benchmarking: How does our performance compare to similar jurisdictions?
Custom reports & briefings: From $2,500 for policy briefs to $12,000+ for comprehensive research reports
Exact pricing is finalized after our initial consultation based on project scope and deliverables.
About Me
I hold a PhD in Public Policy and Administration from Arizona State University, where I also earned my master’s and bachelor’s degrees. My dissertation examined state-level policy responses to federal unemployment insurance reforms using interrupted time series and difference-in-differences methods. I’ve taught applied statistics as adjunct faculty and have extensive experience with econometric modeling, including Cox proportional hazards models, synthetic control methods, and spatial analysis.
Let’s Talk
Whether you need an interactive dashboard, rigorous policy analysis, or strategic guidance on data-driven decision-making, I’d be happy to discuss how I can help.
