Northeast Ohio Regional Retail Analysis
Executive Summary
Intensity of Retail Development
Although some types of retail establishments, particularly those which focus on providing convenience goods and services, cater to specifically a daytime (employee) or night time (resident) population, most businesses seek to serve both groups. Retail establishments which are located in areas of significant employment density but low population would generate most of their business during daytime hours.
Map 4 illustrates the overall amount of retail gross leaseable space available to both employees and residents of an area. While the intensity of retail development and the areas which are over or under-served are evident, the quality of retail development is not addressed, several areas which appear to be underserved may not have adequate retail zoning, and areas indicated in blue in rural or exurban counties do not have sufficient population densities to support additional retail development.
