Settlement Points: | These settlement points were created using OpenStreetMap (OSM) Building Footprints. Esri is a supporter of the OSM project, www.OpenStreetMap.org. The buildings were constrained to include only residential housing units. The buildings were verified and improved upon using the latest Esri imagery and HERE (Esri StreetMap Premium Layers (LandArea, BuiltUpArea)). When necessary, household values were distributed evenly onto multiunit residential buildings using a top-down approach with the Michael Bauer Research household values from the lowest level geographies. |

Annualized means that the resultant value reflects a rate of change over a twelve-month time period. This permits analysis of multiple growth rates between values measured at differing points in time using a common time period of twelve months; the annualized growth rate is repeated, or compounded, each year. The CAGR is sometimes referred to as growth rate, annual rate, annualized growth rate, or compound growth rate. | |
