Market Intelligence Review: Q1 2015

State of the Union

Regional Financial Health Data: Understand Market Risk and Opportunity Across the U.S. When a company tries to determine what markets it should devote their resources to, or when it needs to understand the risk in business and consumer populations, many focus merely on one target company or consumer group. But in doing so, the economic impact other businesses and consumers can potentially have on the target is missed. Businesses are directly impacted by the financial health of the consumers surrounding them, while consumers are impacted by the financial health of the businesses around them. Many rankings that look at geographic pictures of the best places to live, retire, start your career, or raise your family are based on surveys, rough estimates and generalizations based on only a partial picture. In the past, data was unavailable to objectively and comprehensively determine what makes an area financially viable for businesses and consumers, until now. Powerlytics has developed a Financial Health Index that draws from our database of 154 million households and 30 million businesses in the US to provide truly superior sets of data and analytics previously unattainable on the market. The Index ranks the ‘financial health’ of both consumers and businesses across the basic dimensions of risk, growth and performance on a relative basis across any geographic area down to a zip code. This index can rank areas just based on one year or over multiple years. Over 15 different business and consumer factors enter into the calculation, which clients are finding not just insightful in decision-making, but predictive of certain customer behavior. For example, a recent analysis by an insurance company found that the business risk component of our health index to be predictive of homeowner policy customer retention.
