Street Economics™: A Responsible and Respectful Approach to Municipal Data

Street Economics is a new approach to providing economic and market insights to local governments, related agencies, and communities. We believe that the real value lies in understanding what is occurring in a community through meaningful insights, beyond just the data.

All too often, communities and local governments engage consultants and academics to run things like ‘gap analysis’, ‘economic base analysis’, or to develop ‘retail strategies’ when the needs may be deeper and different, and the things that are relevant and meaningful are not as evident to non-practitioners. The traditional strategies are limited and often do not truly enhance the community or meet its needs.

Entrepreneurship, economic development, revitalization, and retail attraction must occur within the context of an overall place-based, quality-of-life economic development approach.

BusinessFlare® utilizes the latest technology and systems to provide near real-time information, especially related to real estate, spending, migration, and customer and employee foot traffic trends.

We developed Street Economics™ to provide an affordable, meaningful solution that respects the limited resources of local governments because we see the real value in being able to provide real-world, actionable insights that are focused on guiding a community’s use of its resources to achieve results.
