In What Area of Austin, Texas
Should
UNIQUEitties
Base Their New Business?
A Location Research Report
by
Tonya Reese
It is very difficult to find the best location for a new
business.
There are many aspects you must take into consideration when finding
the
right area of town; such as, zoning, income levels, population, and
competitor
stores. The best way to compare all of this data is to
incorporate
it into a Geographic Information System (GIS). I collected data
from
various sources, including the U.S. Census Bureau and the City of
Austin.
Once all of these layers were put together I was able to identify areas
of town with a group of people that UNIQUEitties caters to, that has
commercial
property zoning, and the locations of competitor stores.
