Standard Geographies

Overview

Standard Geographies are trade areas based on standard boundaries such as states, counties, tracts, ZIP Codes, block groups, core-based statistical areas (CBSA), or designated market areas (DMA). Individual trade areas are created for each unique geography (for example, each state, each ZIP Code) that you select. One layer can contain several trade areas, such as one whole layer containing a collection of counties.

Input Prerequisites

None.

Example Output
