The indication
1The answer at a glance: favourable, mixed or unfavourable indications for each spot, with the rule printed below.
On these figures, spot B stands out: it has more points in favour and fewer against than spot A.
Spot A · Athens
Mixed indications
- Against: More competition than the municipality average: 35 residents per company here, 210 in the municipality.
- Against: The municipality has about 3,623 more businesses in the sector than the typical municipality in the region would have.
- For: The sector is growing in the municipality. Companies in 12 months: 722 opened, 404 closed.
Spot B · Ilioupoli
Favourable indications
- For: Less competition than the municipality average: 2,500 residents per company here, 1,100 in the municipality.
- For: The municipality has about 188 fewer businesses in the sector than the typical municipality in the region would have.
- For: The sector is growing in the municipality. Companies in 12 months: 22 opened, 13 closed.
How it's worked out: we compare residents per company within the radius with the municipality average (it counts when there are at least 25% more or 20% fewer), the municipality with the typical municipality in the region (a difference of at least 15%) and the sector's companies that opened with those that closed (a difference of at least 2). "Favourable" when two or more are in favour and none against, "unfavourable" in the opposite case, otherwise "mixed". The indication is based on residents: in shopping centres and tourist areas, footfall also comes from visitors and workers.

For each sector: how many companies the circle's residents would have at the companies-per-resident ratio of a typical neighbourhood in the municipality (the median of many circles of the same size within it, so the centre doesn't inflate the measure), and how many there are. Companies with an exact location count, excluding general and limited partnerships; residents are approximate. A missing sector isn't always an opportunity: consider access, passing traffic and the character of the area too.
