TSCG Retail Markets are purpose-built geographic districts, more than 4,400 of them nationwide, drawn around how and where people actually shop, not around postal routes or political lines. Each market follows natural retail corridors, respects census block-group boundaries, and gives analysts a single, stable frame of reference for everything from site selection to territory design.
TSCG Market Intelligence Reports deliver a powerful, data-driven understanding of over 4,400 retail markets across the United States, helping businesses make smarter, faster, and more confident location and investment decisions. Each report provides a comprehensive snapshot of key demographic and economic indicators – such as population growth, household dynamics, diversity, employment trends, and development activity – visualized through geospatial maps and proprietary analytics.
By going beyond simple census data, these reports uncover the story behind the numbers: where people are moving, how communities are evolving, and which trade areas are primed for growth. From dense urban hubs to emerging suburban corridors, TSCG’s reports translate local market shifts into strategic intelligence. Whether you’re a retailer evaluating site potential, a developer identifying high-growth corridors, an investor assessing market risk, or a municipality planning economic expansion, these reports deliver clarity and context. They highlight not just who lives in a market, but why it matters – pinpointing where opportunity meets demand.
