Questions about this workflow
What does 'establishment density' tell me?
It shows how many competing businesses are in a county. High density means saturated; low density means opportunity or untapped market.
Can I filter by industry to see only competitors?
Yes, Notis retrieves County Business Patterns broken by industry code (NAICS), so you see only competitors in your sector.
What other data points are in County Business Patterns?
Establishment count, employment, annual payroll, and more - all broken down by NAICS industry code and county.
