Esri Refreshed with New Trade Area Data and Site Selection Options

This year's Esri refresh brought two new options for site selection along with the annual refresh of economic, demographic and tapestry segment data, available to REALTORS® nationwide!

The most exciting addition is found in your attribute based site selection tool. The update now shows spending behavior at brick and mortar stores for multiple retail types.

This pairs well with last year's addition of spending online, which also got a refresh to include Etsy to the list of online retailers, which allows users to see ordering habits in a community.

Lastly, as with every year, the data used to display economic, demographic and tapestry details has been updated to reflect changes based off of annual surveys like the American Community Survey.
