It weighs household spending per competitor (35%), households per business with payroll (25%), population growth (20%) and spending power (20%), each ranked against those peers. A higher score means that, taken together, the market has more household spending and more households for each business already there, faster population growth and more spending per household than similar markets. It describes a market, not any one site or deal. Miami-Dade County scores 30 for clothing, shoe and laundry businesses (lower middle), #1,862 of 2,210 scored counties.
