- Worth noticing
- Its retention rate compares local sales with what the national spending pattern predicts; the page says it does not track where residents actually shop.
Field notes
A selected area can be renamed, and the page says that name carries into its heading, printed report, citation, downloaded filenames, and shared link. The map also describes tract selection and a program-shading option; the captured page notes that streets were unavailable at the time, leaving tracts visible without them.
