A few details.
Twenty business types so far, from coffee shops and restaurants to salons, gyms, boutiques and daycares. Each has its own page with what matters when choosing a location for it.
The U.S. Census (address match, ZIP-area estimates and workplace job counts), household spending modeled from Census incomes and BLS spending surveys, business listings from the Overture Maps Foundation, and state and federal traffic counts.
Yes. No account and no card. Each visitor can run a few checks an hour, and a check of the same address and business type is kept for a week, so looking again is instant.
It works for any street address the U.S. Census can match. Jobs, household spending and business listings are loaded area by area, so the check says plainly what is not measured at your address instead of guessing.
One report for one location is $79, or a membership is $199 a month with unlimited reports. You see both prices before you pay.
No. It shows what public records measure around the address. The full report weighs those numbers with the rent, the competition and the rules for your use, as a structured way to compare locations, not a forecast.
