StreetSpring computes this by projecting the business's market share, which is based on the quality and quantity of primary, secondary, and tertiary competitors. Our models draw from one of the most comprehensive commercial real estate datasets ever assembled. Clustering works when it draws more customers to the area than any single business could alone. These insights come from StreetSpring's exclusive, in-house forecasting models.
