Business

Business reports provide details about the businesses and employees in an area. You can create reports based on a trade area's current and potential business environments by examining existing business and services, competitive presence, and retail activity.

You can use these reports to do the following:

  • Better understand trade areas.
  • Identify potential new sites.
  • Find your competitors.

Data in these reports is based on business locations and business summary data from Data Axle.

Data in the Business Locator report is based on the businesses whose location is within the area of study. Total Sales ($000), Total Number of Employees, Total Number of Businesses, and Employee/Residential Population Ratio are calculated using the collection of business points that are within the area of study.

Data in the Business Summary report is calculated using Esri's data apportionment method, which uses census blocks and block groups to allocate business summary data to custom areas.

These differences in data collection can contribute to differences in Total Businesses, Total Employees, and Employee/Residential Population Ratio when comparing the Business Summary and Business Locations reports for an area of study.
