Exceptional Economic and Demographic Insights
How Bid-Rent Modeling can help your organization
Bid-Rent modeling can be integrated with third-party land use models and scenario planning tools to provide additional demographic and economic detail, such as industry mix, property valuations, household incomes, and housing affordability.
With Bid-Rent modeling, organizations can easily conduct multiple 'What if?' analyses to prepare for a wide range of scenarios. Parameters, variables, and timeframes can all be quickly adjusted to stay ahead of possible outcomes.
The Bid-Rent model development process allows organizations to leverage locally maintained and private data sources, or fall back on our proven U.S. Census data analysis pipelines to create a standard model, calibrated to match local conditions.
Bid-rent modeling allows organizations to challenge assumptions, answer new questions, and identify variables that will have the most influence, were previously hidden, or prove to be the most turbulent.
