The Gap Analysis is a summary of the primary spending Gaps segmented by retail category.

It measures actual consumer expenditures within the City’s trade area and compares it to the potential retail revenue generated by retailers in the same area. The difference between the two numbers reflects leakages, or the degree to which consumers travel outside the community for certain retail goods and services. The Gap analysis is a useful tool to gauge retail supply and demand within the community.
