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 are built using machine learning trained on millions of commercial real estate data points. Areas with complementary competitors tend to generate higher overall foot traffic. These results are powered by exclusive algorithms trained on one of the largest commercial real estate datasets in the U.S.
