a portrait of retail market demand:
Greater Paseo Trade Area Study
summer 2012 | urban planning + policy
abstract
This paper develops a method for projecting retail demand using demographic
characteristics from the Decennial Census, Consumer Expenditure Survey Tables,
County Business Patterns, Zip Code Business Patterns and Illinois Department of
Revenue sales tax data. In contrast to the data commercially available from vendors like Claritas and ESRI, the Greater Paseo Trade Area Study also disaggregated
retail demand across the major races and Hispanic origins that compose the
trade area geography. This method reveals commonalities between segments,
and points the way toward businesses that could thrive in spaces of universally
unmet need. It is roughly divided in half between explaining and contextualizing
the results of the study and developing a detailed methodology.

introduction: the purpose of the study
The Greater Paseo Trade Area Study was initiated to complement other research conducted by the author
regarding the status of the Puerto Rican community in the Chicago Metro Area. For this reason, the geography of
interest is 2010 Census tracts on the Northwest side of the City of Chicago that are composed of greater than 10%
Puerto Ricans. These neighborhoods, once solidly majority Puerto Rican, have been transforming since the peak of
the Puerto Rican population in the 1980s. Today, Puerto Ricans comprise 11% - 38% of the population in this geography, referred to as the Puerto Rican Influence Area (or PRIA)1. Acknowledging that addressing poverty involves
creating wealth, the Greater Paseo Trade Area Study attempts to show where there might be opportunities for entrepreneurs to open new businesses in the PRIA. Additionally, it disaggregates retail market demand estimates by race
and Hispanic Origin in a way that is not generally available from the commercial market data vendors such as Claritas
or ESRI.
There are reasons beyond wanting to look at retail demand across race and origin to eschew data from na-
tional clearing houses. Among these reasons, which include often-prohibitive cost for small organizations, there are
three structural problems with these data that prejudice them against inner city markets. First, companies like Nielsen
PRIZM (Claritas) and ESRI favor average income estimates over density of income estimates. The value judgment that
underlies this reporting decision elevates sprawled suburban locations over dense urban ones. Though suburban
households regularly have substantially higher average incomes than urban households, urban spaces often have
greater purchasing power per square mile, or income density2.
Second, commercial data vendors tend to base their products on infrequent public counts like the Decennial
Census and then manipulate data for the whole country in proprietary, obscure ways to “keep them up to date.” This
“30,000 feet” perspective makes it difficult to account for local factors or take advantage of local data that can often
enhance the appeal of urban markets. A perfect example of this tendency to ignore local information is commercial
firms’ use of crime indices, which “use a demographic-based model that estimates crime risk based on historic correlation between types of crimes and the demographics of people residing in the areas where crimes are committed3”,
rather than actual crime counts to report conclusions on neighborhood safety. These kinds of static assumptions

about neighborhood quality do not account for the complex, dynamic nature of cities and further render national
data vendors unreliable reporters of business opportunities in cities.
Finally, this tendency of national data vendors to gloss over differences and eschew local knowledge also manifests itself in the over-simplified, sometimes offensive language they use to describe many inner city market segments. For instance, the language in Claritas/Nielsen PRIZM’s “You Are Where You Live” free data product gives names
to the market segments in the PRIA like “Big City Blues.” Big City Blues,
with a population that’s more than 45 percent Latino, [this segment] has one of the highest concentrations of Hispanic-Americans in the nation. … Concentrated in a few major metros, these younger singles and single-parent families face enormous challenges: low incomes, uncertain jobs and modest educations4.
Topping off these otherwise overtly racial descriptions, households in Big City Blues typically read “Ser Padres” and
watch “El Gordo Y La Flaca.” On the other hand, in PRIA there are also “Young Digerati” communities, which are “affluent, highly educated, and ethnically mixed, are typically filled with trendy apartments and condos, fitness clubs and
clothing boutiques, casual restaurants and all types of bars—from juice to coffee to microbrews.” Young Digerati read
“the Economist” and watch “IFC5.”
Overtly racialized descriptions such as these are less than helpful in today’s increasingly integrated and diverse
city6. When now-President of the Congress for New Urbanism John Norquist was mayor of Milwaukee, he railed
against Claritas’ description of neighborhoods in inner-Milwaukee, saying, “We’re not asking them to guild the lily, but
they’re spraying DDT on the lily. It’s incredible7.”
In an effort to paint a new kind of picture of the consumer characteristics of the households in the PRIA, the
Greater Paseo Trade Study attempts to overcome these limited descriptions of urban demand in favor of more nuanced picture that can help start a conversation about the future of this unique and dynamic Chicago area.

Bureau of Labor Statistics, US Census Bureau and Illinois Department of Revenue were downloaded and analyzed. The
analysis proceeded on the idea that disaggregating total retail demand estimates by race and Hispanic origin might
shed some light on areas of mutual unmet demand across the five segments that compose the total population:
Puerto Ricans, Non-Hispanic whites, African Americans, Mexicans and all others8.
These segments were examined across four indicators: housing tenure, age, household size and race / Hispanic origin. These characteristics were then used to estimate how much each segment spends per year in thirteen categories: grocery stores, restaurants, liquor stores, health and personal care, men’s clothes, women’s clothes, children
and family clothes, shoes, audio/visual equipment, recreation fees, pets and hobbies, sports, and books and magazines (section “Demand Estimates”, below). These demand estimates were then compared with estimated annual sales
of actual businesses inside the PRIA for each category.
Annual sales inside the PRIA were calculated by multiplying the number of businesses in each category—e.g.,
restaurants—by the average sales that type of business had in Illinois in 2011. Finally, the demand in dollars displayed
by each segment in the PRIA was compared to the sales the local businesses would have if they all made sales equal
to the Illinois average for their type of business. This process of estimation boils down to a simple formula:
Local Sales – Local Demand = either a negative number (a Gap) or a positive number (a Surplus)
A Gap suggests that there may be some leakage in the local economy. “Leakage” refers to instances where
consumers spend their money outside their home area, profiting business owners in other communities. People
choose to shop outside their communities for myriad, sometimes obscure reasons. There are, however, a few common reasons consumers tend to shop outside their home area, including:
-
There is no equivalent retail destination in the consumer’s home area.
-
There is an outside shop that is more convenient to the consumer’s commute.
-
Other shops have more prestige or brand presence.
-
The consumer’s home area has streetscaping or crime problems, making shopping unpleasant.
-
The consumer is seeking out a business with which they have ethnic, religious or cultural affinity.
8
“All others” were calculated by subtracting (Puerto Ricans + Non-Hispanic whites + African Americans + Mexicans) from
the total population. This segment includes multi-racial individuals as well as Asians, Native Americans and people of Hispanic
Origin other than Puerto Ricans and Mexicans. It was beyond the scope of the Study to treat each segment separately. For more
information, see the complete methodology section.

Whatever the reason, when the available funds of local area residents are spent outside that area—when they leak
out—and are not replaced by outside shoppers traveling to the district, the profitability of the local commercial
districts suffer. These districts, in turn, are less able to expand their businesses or to hire more employees. Additionally, new businesses may be dissuaded from locating in the community due to the perception of a weak market. This
scenario reinforces a cycle of disinvestment that can reverberate through all the dimensions of a community.
The bright side of a Sales Gap, on the other hand, is that it may also indicate an opening for this leaked capital
to be collected up by a new local business. Since so much of the success of businesses—particularly small retailers
and restaurateurs—is wrapped up in tapping the right market, the presence of a Sales Gap in the right neighborhood
at the right time can signal opportunity for entrepreneurs. When new businesses locate in a trade area and capture
otherwise-leaked sales, the positive spillover effects multiply through the neighborhood: employees in the commercial district patronize each other’s shops, local consumers have less reason to spend their money elsewhere, and there
is one more busy shop contributing to a lively commercial space.
In contrast to a Sales Gap, a Surplus suggests one of two things. First, a Surplus (where the sales of local busi-
nesses exceed the demand displayed by local residents) can indicate that local businesses are importing customers
from other areas. A large number of extra-local customers traveling to shop in a trade area often results from a cluster
of specialty businesses that creates a destination district. A destination district might be a cluster of ethnic restaurants
and shops—such as a Chinatown—or a strip of car dealerships, like the ones often seen on the major arterials of inner
ring suburbs.
Second, a Surplus can also indicate that a trade area is oversaturated with certain retail types. Oversaturation,
which suggests that customers are spending significantly more than their average demand in local establishments,
can signal that either a neighborhood is going through structural changes causing the retail profile to lag changes in
neighborhood composition, or that there is some error in the market demand model. Since market demand estimates
rely heavily on national spending patterns and state-wide average sales, the reality in a specific trade area can sometimes deviate strongly from average numbers. In the case of a calculated Surplus, a market demand study should lead
to more information-gathering to determine whether surplus figures are accurate on the ground. If the figures are
accurate, more demographic data on customers must be collected to reveal whether the Surplus results from destination districts or local oversaturation.

One of the most helpful ancillary findings of the Greater Paseo Trade Area Study was more fully articulated
demographic profiles for the five segments that compose the total population in the PRIA. Since market demand is

projected through composition of demographic characteristics, it is helpful to briefly examine these characteristics
before touching on the demand estimates based on them.

There are 96,058 households in PRIA. Of these households, 33% own with a mortgage, 7% own free and clear,
and 60% rent. While Non-Hispanic whites are the largest segment when the main groups are disaggregated (33%);
when Puerto Ricans (19%) and Mexicans (27%) are combined into a Latino group, they comprise an even larger segment (46%). The failure of any one segment to reach a majority (greater than 50%) goes to the dynamic, multicultural
nature of the Trade Area.
Among the segments, Non-Hispanic white owner households are the largest segment (46%), with all others
(44%) and Mexicans (41%) following close behind. Few African American households are owned in PRIA (25%), along
with about a third of Puerto Rican households (32%). From a market demand perspective, these differences are important because, on average, rental households spend about a third less across all categories than owner households.
This spending disparity seems to go to differences in life stage and accumulated wealth. For instance, renters and
owners are at parity in annual spending on shoes, but renters spend 72% less on sporting goods, boats and camera

35,000 Householders under 35 make up the largest portion of households in the PRIA (30%). Householders between
35 and 44 make up the next highest share (22%), followed by the 45 to 54 bracket (20%). Of the under 35 group, the
supermajority (67%) are Non-Hispanic white (39%) or Mexican (28%). Among both Puerto Ricans and African Americans, the most prevalent age group is householders between 45 and 54 (23%, respectively). Among Mexicans, householders are most often between 35 and 44 (29%), compared with Non-Hispanic white and “other” householders, who
are most often between 25 and 34 (29% and 25%).

In terms of market demand, the age of the householder is extremely significant. Spending patterns reflect life
stage differences, such as household size and spending on children or medical care. For instance, middle aged householders (35 to 64) spend more, on average, than young adults (under 35) and seniors (65 and over) in almost every
category. Exceptions include spending on alcohol (greater for young adults) and on health and personal care products (greater for seniors.)
Similarly, young adults typically spend almost the same amount of money annually on food to prepare at
home ($2,768) as they spend on eating out ($2,315). In contrast, middle aged people spend about 30% less on eating
out ($2,825) than they do going to the grocery store ($4,102). Seniors spend even less in restaurants ($1,608)—about
half as much as they spend on groceries ($2,950)10.
Since the PRIA has a large proportion of households headed by people less than 35, the market demand profile will skew slightly toward the lower end of spending, except in areas where young adults typically splurge.

Household size is another dimension in which the PRIA shows noteworthy variation. An overwhelming major-
ity (73%) of Non-Hispanic white households are composed of 1 or 2 people. About half of Puerto Rican (48%) and
African American (51%) households are also composed of 1 or 2 people. In contrast, few Mexicans households have
only 1 or 2 residents (23%); most have 5 or more (40%).
Consequently, about half of all households in the PRIA are composed of 1 or 2 people (49%). In fact, the large
numbers of Non-Hispanic white households composed of 1 or 2 people (23,220) make up about a quarter (24%) of all
households in the area. Household composition functions similarly to age group in terms of market demand. Households made up or 1 or 2 people spend less in almost every category than those made up of 4 or more people. As with
trade area study
|8
young adults, people in 1 or 2 person households tend to spend more on alcohol (126% as much as households of 4 or
more), and more proportionally on eating out. They also spend more on books and magazines than any other group.
In contrast, households of 4 or more spend 859% more annually on children’s clothes than households of 1 or 211.
For these reasons, the household composition of the PRIA—heavily skewed toward small or large house-
holds—is a major factor in both intra- and inter-segment demand.
results from the greater paseo trade area study: demand estimates
All the preceding characteristics, when used to project demand for retail goods and services, ultimately paint
a fairly similar picture of demands across all segments. As might be expected due to their large share of sub-35 and 1
to 2 person households, Non-Hispanic whites spend the least in every category but alcohol, books and magazines and
audio/visual equipment. In contrast, due to their large household size, Mexicans are projected to spend the most in
key categories for families: food from the grocery store, clothing and shoes. Based on this model, African Americans in
the PRIA spend slightly more than Non-Hispanic whites in every category except alcohol and books and magazines.

Generally displaying moderate demand, Puerto Ricans spend more, on average, than Non-Hispanic whites and
Africans Americans, but less than Mexicans—except in food to prepare at home, where they outspend all groups by
10% to 20%. Finally, the “all other” segment is projected to spend more annually in almost every category, especially
entertainment categories. These numbers should be taken with a grain of salt due to the comparatively higher levels
of intra-segment differentiation in this group. 11

When all of these demand estimates are multiplied across the number of households that compose each seg-
ment, they give evidence of tremendous spending power in the PRIA. The chart below compares the total amount

housing mix. In this way, the demographic composition of PRIA contributes to a nuanced average annual demand
estimate. When averaged, these estimates suggest that all of PRIA annually demands:

results from the greater paseo trade area study: gap and surplus calculations
Finally, when these calculations are compared to the annual sales inside the Trade Area12, it is possible to de-
termine whether the retail demands of all segments within PRIA are being met in their local area. The Greater Paseo
Trade Area Study indicates a Sales Surplus in six categories (light blue): food for preparation at home, restaurants,
alcohol, children/family clothes, and a/v equipment and recorded music. The Trade Area Study shows a Sales Gap in
seven categories (dark blue): men’s clothes; women’s clothes; footwear; fees and admissions; pets, toys and hobbies;
other entertainment and sports; and books and magazines. Since these estimates are built around national and statelevel data, in addition to local demographic characteristics, Gap or Surplus calculations were also completed based
on more modest deflated Trade Area Sales figures. Even if the business in the Trade area only make 80% of the 2011
Illinois average sales, the same Sales Surpluses and Gaps are still indicated for the PRIA13.
12
Annual sales were calculated by multiplying the number of establishments within the Trade Area by the average annual
sales of businesses of that type in Illinois in 2011. For more information, see the complete methodology.

LISC recommends deflating sales by 20% if dealing with mid- to low-market retailers. See complete methodology for a
discussion.

While these Gap estimates can suggest sectors that are likely to support new local businesses, it is unlikely
that any local trade area will ever recapture 100% leaked demand. Assuming it is possible for a new local business
making average annual sales to recapture 75% of the leaked sales in the deflated scenario, PRIA may be able to support a number of new businesses.

However, these estimates rely heavily on a number of assumptions14, and should be treated only as prelimi-
nary figures that might indicate demand profiles. In order to illustrate next steps, and the kinds of wrinkles that impact these demand estimates, it will be helpful to look more closely at the estimates for three retail types: food away
from home, footwear and fees and admissions.

results from the greater paseo trade area study: focus on restaurants
In many ways, the wellbeing of restaurants is central to any thriving commercial district. Many consumers
come specifically to eat and incidentally do some postprandial shopping. The opposite is also often true—consumers
come to shop and then grab a bite—creating a certain symbiosis between food venders and commercial space. In
the case of these demand estimates, the “food away from home” category includes full-service restaurants, fast casual
restaurants, buffets, cafeterias and snack shops, as well as non-alcoholic drink bars, including juice bars, bubble tea
counters and coffee shops.
Since all these different types of businesses must be lumped together to perform demand estimates under
this methodology, it is not surprising that the Greater Paseo Trade Area Study indicates a huge Sales Surplus in this
category. One reason for this is that the Trade Area is home to a slightly higher proportion of fast casual restaurants
(47%) than the State of Illinois (45%), on which the sales estimates are based. Another is that average restaurant sales
in the PRIA—home to many small, family-owned, full-service restaurants—is likely lower than a state-wide average
that includes numerous extremely high-end places15.
A third reason the Trade Area may be displaying a Sales Surplus in the food away from home category is that
there are several clusters of ethnic restaurants that may be acting as destination districts. First, and most prominent,
are the Puerto Rican restaurants on Division Street between Western and California. Second, numerous Cuban restaurants populate the streets around Milwaukee Avenue from Western to Central Park. Finally, the popularity of Northwest Chicago as a destination for all types of Latino cuisine is highlighted by the upcoming “Taste of Latin America
Food, Wine and Art Festival” on Armitage Ave between Kedzie and Pulaski16.
In order to determine whether the Trade Area is generating a true Sales Surplus due to the presence of destination dining districts attracting guests from outside the PRIA, restaurant owners, chambers of commerce and local
neighborhood associations should ban together to gather more information about people who come to shop or
dine inside their portion of the Trade Area. Restaurant owners of all types would benefit from using a single loyalty
program, such as Chicago-startup “Belly Card” to track the zip code origin of customers17. The Belly Card and others like it offer modest rewards to consumers for shopping frequently in exchange for demographic information. By
sharing this information with the local chamber of commerce or other economic development corporation, it will be
15
This would be a case in which median sales figures would be highly preferable to average sales figures. However, those
data are not available from public sources.
16
This event will feature many Latin cuisines, ranging from South America, to Central America and the Caribbean. More
information available online at http://sponsorchicago.com/Taste-Latin-Am-Fest/index.html, (accessed 7/12).

possible to determine how much businesses the restaurant district is importing—and from where. Armed with this
knowledge, the restaurant district will be better able to improve its brand and target marketing where it will have the
most impact. These steps should improve profitability for existing restaurants and potentially pave the way for new
complementary businesses to open.
results from the greater paseo trade area study: focus on footwear
As of 2009, there were only 54 shoe stores in the PRIA, serving 293,290 people18. If all sales were kept within
the Trade Area (0% leakage), that would work out to 5,431 persons per shoe store, per year. Assuming each person
buys three pairs of shoes per year at a retail location, which would be over 21,000 pairs of shoes for each store to stock
annually, assuming a third of the shoes demanded must be kept on hand as additional sizes or options19. An average
DSW, which is on the huge side of shoe retailers, stocks only 27,000 shoes per year20. Since DSW exceeds the square
footage of the average American shoe store by several thousand square feet21, it is reasonable to assume that most
shoe stores are significantly smaller than DSW. By the same logic, it is reasonable to assume—though by no means
is necessarily proven—that current shoe retailers in the PRIA are not able to carry enough shoes to meet the total
demand.
These kinds of “back of the envelope” calculations help gage the reasonableness of Sales Gap estimates.
Combined with intelligence about the demographic characteristics of the area—facts like 40% of Mexican households
have five more people—these reasonability tests suggest that there is indeed unmet demand for shoe stores in the
Trade Area. Relevant further information to be gathered would include profiles of the existing shoe stores—for instance, whether they sell children’s shoes or work boots—as well as more detailed information on school enrollments
to dictate appropriate sizes and quantities of children’s shoes. Since the Gap in this category is large, there is likely opportunity for new business in this sector if the prospective owner were able to isolate the correct location and product
alignments.

results from the greater paseo trade area study: focus on fees and admissions
Similar in many ways to the food away from home category, fees and admissions estimates include many
disparate types of establishments and activities. This category covers tickets to see sporting events, movies, concerts
and plays. It also covers fees and memberships dues for sports and health clubs, country clubs, golf courses and private swimming pools. In addition, it also includes membership dues and fees for other social, recreation and fraternal
activities—for instance, membership to an Elk’s Club, or fees to enter a charity race. Finally, it also covers movie rentals, fees for lessons and recreation spending on trips22.
This is a category where it is very difficult to count all the establishments that might operate on these types of
expenditures. For this reason, it follows that the enormous Sales Gap estimated in this category is likely overinflated,
i.e., the demand estimates are substantially greater than the sales estimates because too few establishments were
counted in the Trade Area in this category23. Next steps for refining demand for tickets and admissions would be to
generate an inventory of formal and informal organizations in the trade area that fit within the category, segmented
by major types. These segments might look like the following: tickets to music and dancing, tickets to dance and
theater, spending on movies, memberships and fees for sports or health related activities, and memberships to other
organizations. By disaggregating this huge group, it may be possible to paint a more realistic picture of the supply
and demand for fees and admissions, particularly fo brick-and-mortar establishments like health clubs. Due to the size
of the current Sales Gap estimate it is highly likely that a gap will still exist even after the number of establishments is
refined.
results from the greater paseo trade area study: conclusion
In the end, the Greater Paseo Trade Area Study reveals a dynamic cluster of neighborhoods that are peopled
by a diverse group of households covering many races and origins, tenure profiles, and stages in life. Despite that
these differences can sometimes make it seem like there are many different communities operating in the same space,
demand profiles suggest that there may be some overlap in the goods and services that all segments demand, but
currently are forced to travel elsewhere to obtain. Moving forward, community leaders and chambers of commerce
should ban together to explore avenues for decreasing retail leakage, enriching neighborhoods and serving the substantial existing untapped purchasing power.

Methodology
INRODUCTION: overview of the methodology
Data available from national marketing clearinghouses such as Claritas and ESRI are both costly and fraught with
structural problems that tend to under-report the economic power of inner city areas. Through use of public data,
however, it is possible to construct these calculations at a fraction of the cost with a great deal more transparency. The
following data sources can be combined to estimate demand for a number of retail and service sectors:
-
2010 US Census Decennial Census tract-level counts (Census)
-
2009 Zip Code Business Patterns (09 ZBP)
-
2010 County Business Patterns (10 CBP)
-
2010 Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Consumer Expenditure Survey Tables (CEX)
-
2011 Illinois State Department of Revenue Sales Tax Reporting (IDOR sales tax)
Using these data, the Greater Paseo Trade Area Study relied on the following conceptual scheme:
“Potential Demand”:
estimated retail demand by segment
(Census x CEX)
MINUS
“Actual Sales”
estimated annual sales per business
((IDOR annual sales per retail type / 10 CBP establishment counts)
x 09 ZBP establishment counts)
EQUALS
Underserved / Saturated Demand for Retail Types
Despite a fairly simple and straightforward conceptual basis, in actuality, there are a number of significant difficulties with operationalizing this formula. The balance of this methodology expands on the process the Greater Paseo
Trade Study adopted.

GEOGRAPHY: the puerto rican influence area / great paseo trade area
Since this Trade Area Study was part of a larger research project detailing the status of Puerto Ricans in Chicagoland,
the geography of interest was defined by a number of data concerns not directly related to issues of market estimation. Along a number of indicators, particularly those related to home values and mortgage lending, disaggregated
information about Puerto Ricans is not available. In order to overcome this obstacle, I isolated those 2010 Census
tracts where Puerto Ricans made up more that 10% of the population in households (figure 1.) At the heart of this
area are a number of tracts where Puerto Ricans make up 21% - 38% of the population.

Puerto Rican Influence Area:

This geography of high Puerto Rican concentration—covering parts of West Town, north east Humboldt
Park, Logan Square, Hermosa and Belmont-Cragin—more accurately reflects the locus of today’s Puerto Rican and
Latino communities than the 1920s University of Chicago School of Sociology-designated 77 Chicago Community
Areas. While the unchanging boundaries of the Community Areas make them a particularly convenient geography
for comparing longitudinal data, they are not always still relevant demarcaters of dynamic communities. By creating a
unique geography that reflects the current location of the Puerto Rican and Latino community in Northwest Chicago,
I avoided lumping the Puerto Rican Humboldt Park—which is largely composed of Hermosa (Community Area 20),
west West Town (Community Area 24) and north east Humboldt Park (Community Area 23)—with West Humboldt
trade area study
| 18
Park (also Community Area 23), which is predominantly African American (figure 3, figure 4). West Humboldt and Austin are substantially similar—in terms of racial composition and housing conditions—as are East Humboldt and west
West Town. Thus the Puerto Rican Influence Area (PRIA) geography overcomes conflating two very different communities, while also acknowledging that there is always a transition-zone where proximate communities overlap.
In order to gain an accurate-as-possible picture of the latent market demand in the PRIA, I drew a 1-mile buffer around the PRIA boundary, positing that consumers could reasonably be expected to travel an additional eight
city blocks as the crow flies to shop for retail goods and services (figure 5). I used this larger geography to count
number of establishments I later compared to the demand exhibited by residents inside the PRIA (see sections below,
“Demand Estimates” and “Actual Sales Estimates” for more information.) Here is one of the most critical shortcomings
of this method, and indeed any like it: it artificially binds consumer geographies. Of course, in reality, people travel
to a variety of locations to conduct their shopping for as many different reasons as there are consumers and retail
choices. However, one must close the study geography somewhere to create estimates that can reveal something
about latent consumer demand. Otherwise a matryoshka problem results: larger and larger geographies are chosen,
like nesting dolls, until analysis cannot reveal anything about local differences, except in comparison of city to city or
state to state.
In addition, to limit the complexity of the study insofar as possible, I did not include those portions of the
Greater Paseo Trade Area buffer that overlap into suburban Cook County. Instead, I treat the City of Chicago boundary
as impermeable—though, of course, in reality, this is far from the truth.

DEMAND ESTIMATES: determining and tabulating sectors inside the trade area
As does Claritas and ESRI, I used The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) annual Consumer Expenditure Survey
(CEX) (available online at http://www.bls.gov/cex/) to estimate consumer demand in the PRIA. According to BLS,
“the Consumer Expenditure Survey program consists of two surveys, the Quarterly Interview Survey and the Diary
Survey, that provide information on the buying habits of American consumers, including data on their expenditures,
income, and consumer unit (families and single consumers) characteristics1.” The Consumer Expenditure Survey is also
the basis for revisions to the Consumer Price Index, which is widely used to estimate inflation. However, what makes
the CEX special and useful for this research is that it relates consumer behavior to a range of characteristics available
at detailed geometries from the US Census Bureau.
Whereas the CEX is almost always applied to the total population inside a geography, I applied it instead to
five segments that compose the total population of the PRIA. These segments included:

There were a couple of reasons to project demand by segments rather than by total population. First, data
available from commercial venders is often not projected in this way, making it a worthwhile academic undertaking.
Second, there are some ongoing conversations on the Northwest side of Chicago between and amongst stakeholders
about what constitutes “the community,” and how (and for whom) development should take place. Estimating retail
demand across race/origin segments is an attempt to show whether there are any mutual instances of unmet demand
that could serve as a starting place for dialogue and cross-segment buy-in, as well as economic development in general.
Taking this route forecloses the use of a number of CEX tables, since one must rely only on characteristics
reported at the 100% level from the Decennial Census. Although it is possible to get tract-level data about disaggregated Hispanic Origins from the American Community Survey (ACS), a significant amount of it is suppressed for Puerto
Ricans. Additionally, the Census Bureau does not recommend comparing the Decennial Census to the ACS, because
the former is a count at one point of time, whereas the latter is an estimate from rolling survey collection2. Considering these limitations, I downloaded tract-level census data from American FactFinder for Puerto Ricans (401), Non-Hispanic whites (451), African Americans (0043), Mexicans (402), and Total Population (001). The former four were used to
project segment demand, whereas Total Population was used to calculate what remained after the primary segments,
“all others”:
Total Population – (Puerto Ricans + Non-Hispanic whites + African Americans + Mexicans) = “all others”
As a quality check, I mapped the percentage that the Puerto Rican, Non-Hispanic white, African American and
Mexican populations take up by census tract of the PRIA overall. These four segments are dominant, comprising a
minimum of 75% of the households, but often much more (figure 6.)
2
For more guidance, see Appendix 4 of the ACS General Handbook, available online at http://www.census.gov/acs/www/
Downloads/handbooks/ACSGeneralHandbook.pdf
3
Looking back, it likely would have been better to track Non-Hispanic African Americans (454); however over 90% of the
African Americans tracked in PRIA were incidentally Non-Hispanic.
trade area study

Figure 6: Percent Representation of Primary Segments in the PRIA
Across these Primary Segments and “all others,” I calculated tenure, age ranges, household sizes and race or
Hispanic origin for each census tract. I then used ArcGIS to select those tracts which had their centroid in the PRIA.
After exporting the relevant tracts, I was able to tabulate households across four characteristics for each segment. It is
important to note that all CEX estimates refer to households, where the characteristic of the householder determines
that of the whole household. This householder is called the “reference person,” and their household (whether family
or non-family) constitutes a “consumer unit4.” The following mixes of consumer units make up the study segments in

Once these consumer units were tabulated, they were multiplied by the CEX tables to produce demand estimates for PRIA. The CEX market baskets were reduced from the full Survey5 for purposes of clarity and efficiency. The
baskets were chosen based on the availability of establishment counts and sales tax data—the “Actual Sales” portion
of the Sales Gap equation—and are, in part, the subject of the next section “Annual Sales Estimates by Retail Type.” A
sample calculation, to calculate the Puerto Rican demand for food away from home (restaurants) based on the tenure
table, would be:

ANNUAL SALES ESTIMATES BY RETAIL TYPE: overcoming government silos
To counterpose the estimated demand side of the sales gap equation, one must also develop estimates of
actual retail sales in the Trade Area. The data for these calculations are much more difficult to manipulate. These
problems mainly come down to anachronisms and differences in workflow between three government agencies: BLS’s
Consumer Expenditure Survey, the Census Bureau’s Zip Code Business Patterns, and (in this case) the Illinois Department of Revenue. To understand the inherent difficulties in combining these data products, it is helpful to briefly
review their histories.
The Consumer Expenditure Survey was first conducted in the late 1880s, and then sporadically until the 1940s.
Later, from the 1940s to the 1980s, it was conducted about every 10 years. In 1980, BLS began conducting the survey
every year in order to provide more timely and consistent update to the Consumer Price Index. The new annual CEX
they developed for launch in 1980 was largely based on the 1972-73 Survey6. For this reason, the CEX is divided into—
by today’s standards—some somewhat anachronistic categories. For instance, the Entertainment primary section is

divided into:
Fees and admissions includes fees for participant sports; admissions to sporting events, movies, concerts, and plays; health, swimming, tennis and
country club memberships; fees for other social, recreational, and fraternal organizations; recreational lessons or instruction; rental of movies, and
recreation expenses on trips.
Television, radio, and sound equipment includes television sets, video recorders, video cassettes, tapes, discs, disc players, video game hardware, video
game cartridges, cable TV, radios, phonographs, tape recorders and players, sound components, records, compact discs, and tapes (including records,
compact discs, and tapes purchased through mail order clubs), musical instruments, and rental and repair of TV and sound equipment.
Pets, toys, hobbies, and playground equipment includes pets, pet food, pet services, veterinary expenses, etc.; toys, games, hobbies, and tricycles; and
playground equipment.
Other entertainment equipment and services includes indoor exercise equipment, athletic shoes, bicycles, trailers, purchase and rental of motorized
campers and other recreational vehicles, camping equipment, hunting and fishing equipment, sports equipment (winter, water, and other), boats, boat
motors and boat trailers, rental of boats, landing and docking fees, rental and repair of sports equipment, photographic equipment and supplies (film
and film processing), photographer fees, repair and rental of photo equipment, fireworks, and pinball and electronic video games7.
Were someone to create new expenditure categories to reflect the reality of today’s retail landscape, it seems likely
that these categories would be bundled differently. For instance, perhaps audio/visual equipment and video games
would no longer be tabulated with recorded music and musical instruments. With the exception of general goods
merchants, it is no longer common for these items to be sold together. Nonetheless, these categories—inherited from
the 1970s—are the basis for today’s CEX, and sales data must be compiled to match them.
The most complete and timely source for the first half of this sales estimate, establishment count by zip code,
is available from the Census Bureau through its Zip Code Business Patterns (ZBP) data product. ZBP is a more detailed
version of County Business Patterns (CBP). According to the Census Bureau,
CBP is an annual series that provides sub-national economic data by industry. This series includes the number
of establishments, employment during the week of March 12, first quarter payroll, and annual payroll. This
data is useful for studying the economic activity of small areas; analyzing economic changes over time; and as
a benchmark for other statistical series, surveys, and databases between economic censuses8.
ZBP is available shortly after CBP, providing establishment counts at the zip code level by highly detailed 6-digit North
American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes. NAICS codes are product-based, i.e., classify industries based
on what they produce, as opposed to what demand they serve. NAICS was conceived as a complete taxonomy and
is the most current system for counting industries in Canada, the US and Mexico. In 1997, NAICS replaced Standard
Industrial Classification (SIC) codes, which were developed in the 1930s and revised in an ad-hoc manner until 1987.
SIC codes do not rely on a complete conceptual framework; some codes describe products, while others describe demand9. Although CBP/ZBP have been collected since 1964, the Census Bureau updated them to NAICS in 1997 along
with the rest of their data products.
There would be few problems using CEX and ZBP together under the NAICS system alone. However, the State
of Illinois Department of Revenue (IDOR)—which provides the final element in the sales estimates, total sales by segment—still uses the SIC system. A snapshot of the raw data looks like the table below, where “SIC TOTALS” are the total

amount of tax the state has collected from all establishments in that category in Illinois for the tax year. I used the
“STATE” portion of the tax to calculate gross sales per SIC type because the rate charged is consistent across the state,
unlike many of the other taxes imposed by local taxing bodies.

DESCRIPTION
In 2011, the Illinois State sales tax was 6.25% for retail goods, and 1% for “qualifying food, drugs, and medical appliances,” defined by the State as
•
food that has not been prepared for immediate consumption, such as most food sold at grocery stores, excluding hot foods,
alcoholic beverages, candy, and soft drinks;
•
prescription medicines and nonprescription items claimed to have medicinal value, such as aspirin, cough medicine, and
medicated hand lotion, excluding grooming and hygiene products; and
•
prescription and nonprescription medical appliances that directly replace a malfunctioning part of the human body, such as
corrective eyewear, contact lenses, prostheses, insulin syringes, and dentures10.
With these rates, it is possible to calculate gross sales per SIC for the tax year. However, since IDOR is unwilling or

unble to provide establishment counts by SIC11, it is necessary to rely entirely on ZBP to calculate average annual sales
per retail type.
The process of lining up the CEX market baskets with both NAICSs and SICs is tricky and involves a number of
choices based on professional judgment. I used both the 1987 SIC to 2002 NAICS crosswalk available from the Census
Bureau12, and the detail descriptions on NAICS.com to build a concordance. It is necessary to look up the detail descriptions because many SIC codes refer to wholesaling in a less than obvious manner. For instance, 5141 – Groceries,
General Line, in the table above, refers to wholesaling of non-food items for grocery stores, such as the Osco portion
of the Jewel-Osco stores prevalent in the Midwest. Since these are not retail sales, but business to business sales, their
sales and establishment counts could not be included in our estimates. In general, the idea is to isolate those businesses that are customer-serving and pay a retail sales tax, so as to not artificially inflate or deflate sales estimates by
overcounting establishments (deflate) or overcounting sales (inflate). Here is the scheme I developed and relied upon:

Although it would not be possible to report all of the decisions that went into constructing this table, three
important ones stand out. First, I purposefully used data that refer to different years. The 2010 CEX is the newest
available, as are establishment counts for Illinois from the 2010 CBP. Although it might have been preferable to use
2010 sales tax figures to compare them, I choose to compare 2010 establishments to 2011 taxes because 2011 taxes
are more likely to reflect a stronger (and currently more accurate) retail climate, but the number of establishments
is not likely to have changed significantly in the intervening year. Second, I was forced to include convenience store
counts in the grocery establishment category, despite a large body of academic work suggesting that counting convenience store with grocery stores obscures important findings on food security13. Convenience stores were included
because, under the SIC system, grocery stores and conveniences stores fall under the same category (5411), i.e., their
sales are inextricably combined in the State sales tax reporting. Finally, the 4-digit SICs from IDOR included type 5999,
miscellaneous retail sales in several categories. The 1987 5999 included copious random businesses, including gravestone carvers, tropical fish merchants and heraldic insignia painters. Relevant to the CEX baskets, 5999 also includes
all retail pet sales, personal care and medical devices. In order to overcome problem of this huge miscellaneous
category, I decided to collect establishment counts by NAICS, but to substitute national annual average sales from
industry trade publications where necessary.
After developing a concordance, I divided the average annual sales imputed from SIC sales tax data by the
aggregated the number of Illinois establishments in each NAICS category. This number is an Illinois-wide average
annual sales by CEX retail category for 2011. Please see Appendix C “Inferred Average Annual Sales per CEX Basket” for
detailed figures. The summary table is below.

ACTUAL SALES ESTIMATES: applying state-level sales estimates to local establishment
After establishing average annual sales by CEX type, the last step in estimating “actual sales” in the Greater
Paseo Trade Area was to generate establishment counts and multiple them by average annual sales figures. I downloaded 2009 ZBP for Chicago and winnowed out establishment counts based on the CEX/NAICS/SIC concordance. I
then mapped them with ArcGIS and took an area-weighted average of the establishments in the Trade Area.
An area-weighted average assumes that the establishments are distributed evenly across each zip code, which
is—of course—not an accurate reflection of the true-life clustering of commercial corridors. However, it was beyond
the scope of my project to catalog and geo-code businesses, which might have produced more accurate establishtrade area study
| 32
ment counts14. Because the Greater Paseo Trade Area (the 1-mile buffer around PRIA) includes only portions of a number of zip codes, an area-weighted average allowed me to aggregate only the proportion of establishments in that zip
code that matched the proportion of the zip code occupied by the Trade Area. Put another way, if the total alcohol
establishments reported by ZBP for 60641 was 10, but the Trade Area only took up area A, one should calculate an
area-weighted average, where
establishments (10) x (area A / area A + area B + area C) = area-weighted establishments (~6).
Although not always a huge difference-maker, taking area-weighted averages can prevent egregious overcounts,
especially in instances where the portion of a zip code occupied by the Trade Area are very small.

However, the additional complexity presented by attempting to find and categorize local businesses by NAICS codes
also opens the door for extremely large errors.

GAP ESTIMATES: bringing it all together
After finding, cleaning and analyzing all these data, it is finally possible to produce a sales gap estimate. I
looked both at total trade area sales and sales deflated 20%, based on advice from LISC15.

LISC produce a guide to help community development organizations do commercial strip development. Their advice
in this case pertains to fact checking results from Claritas and ESRI. Deflating sales 20% accounts for the impact of very large or
very high-end stores on annual sales figures. See LISC Center for Commercial Revitalization “Commercial Revitalization Planning
Guide,” available online at http://www.metroedge.org/uploads/metroedge/documents/6100_file_commercial_revitalization.pdf

conclusion: final thoughts + caveats
It is indeed possible to use free public data to construct an approximation of the tables available for purchase
from companies like Claritas and ESRI. It is a worthwhile endeavor in that it illuminates estimates that are otherwise
something of a black box. It would likely be most accurate to use these estimates as ranges, and as a jumping off
point for other kinds of research, particularly customer surveys.
Finally, some important caveats apply to this study:
• Artificially bounded trade areas are not a true-to-life reflection of the way people live and shop. Instead, trade
area market studies offer a constructed view into what people may do, at least in some ways, some of the time.
• The CEX tables refer to products consumers buy, but CBP/ZBP refer to products businesses produce. Just
because a business’ primary function is listed as one thing does not mean that a customer could not purchase
something from outside of that category there. For instance, sales of a t-shirt at a restaurant would be counted as restaurant sales, but reported in CEX expenditures as apparel. Subsequently, there is not a 1-to-1 match
between demand and production.
• The characteristics of households available from the SF2 100% Census files may not be the most probative for
Puerto Ricans, Non-Hispanic whites, African Americans and Mexicans. Educational attainment and income
would have been much better to include; however, it was not possible under this framework.
• Area-weighted averages helped me approach a more-accurate aggregation of establishment counts from
Zip Code Business Patterns. Assuming an even distribution of retail firms is, however, a theoretically flawed
shortcut.
• The complexity of building a CEX/NAICS/SIC concordance presents many potential pitfalls. Similarly, using
data from different years compounds that complexity. Occam’s Razor suggests there may be problems with
proceeding in this manner.
In the end, the Greater Paseo Trade Study was an exercise in triangulation, adjusting slowly and incrementally
to reach a set of potentially significant results. In future, planners and policy analysts should pressure government
statistical agencies and state departments of revenue to modernize and harmonize their data collections and dissemination methods so that this type of information will be easier for citizens to distill from public data sources.

With nearly a quarter of the residents foreign born, this segment is a mecca for first‐
generation Americans who are striving to improve their lower‐middle‐
class status. With a population that's more than 45 percent Latino, Big City Blues has one of the highest concentrations of Hispanic‐Americans in the nation. But it's also the multi‐ethnic address for low‐

Concentrated in a handful of major metros, these younger singles and single‐parent families face enormous challenges: low incomes, uncertain jobs, and modest educations.
