This study investigates the spatial, economic and social factors that may impact the location of forestry industries with GIS spatial analysis tools. Basic information about all the forestry industries in East Texas were collected, compiled, and categorized. Standard Poisson regression analysis was processed between the number of forestry industries per county and potential influencing factors such as forest coverage, developed area, population, road density, average house value, average timberland value, median household income, and tax rate. Significant spatial impact factors on forestry industries...
