About the Baltimore Market Drilldown

Inner-city neighborhoods represent billions of dollars in untapped buying power and retail leakage. The ethnic and cultural diversity of urban residents represent a myriad of opportunities for local entrepreneurs, niche markets and new markets for financial service providers, grocers, corporate retailers and other commercial investors. Despite this opportunity barriers to private investment in underserved neighborhoods persist. As a result, urban residents lack access to basic goods and services at competitive prices, and retailers and developers are unable to capitalize on the fundamental assets of inner-city, urban communities. Underserved urban neighborhoods are often negatively stereotyped and defined by deficiencies rather than strengths.

The Baltimore DrillDown was designed to create a citywide baseline of neighborhood economic indicators while building detailed profiles of several distinct commercial markets - informing retail attraction, economic development, transportation planning, and to address other needs throughout Baltimore City. The DrillDown combines numerous data sets from public and private, national and local sources, to build a more accurate, up-to-date set of community level indicators.

This project was made possible through the funding and support of the partners listed below. In order to receive more information about the DrillDown or to order a DrillDown, please contact BNIA-JFI at the University of Baltimore.
