Sumario:The writer discusses how business-oriented market data and insightful information on inner-city markets are refuting negative stereotypes and overcoming market information obstacles. She contends that these new market analysis models, such as Social Compact's Neighborhood Drill Down, assemble business-oriented market data that concentrate on the strengths and investment opportunities in inner-city markets rather than the deficiencies. Furthermore, she presents three chief reasons why America's inner cities are undervalued, undercounted, and underserved and notes the key market drivers that should be assessed on the basis of a real estate database.
