Aggregating six indices measuring the economic impact of 109 Music Zones in the United States. The indices assess venue concentration, tourism proximity, business counts, non-chain business presence, total annual economic output, and supported employment.
Use Cases
- Analyze the correlation between the Concentration index (density and size of music zones) and the Economic Output index to model agglomeration effects.
- Compare the Business Impact index (number of businesses) with the Local Business Impact index (number of non-chain businesses) to study chain versus independent business distribution in music zones.
- Model the relationship between the Tourism Friendly index (closeness to urban center) and the Employment Contribution index to assess tourism-driven job creation.
- Use the six indices (Concentration, Tourism Friendly, Business Impact, Local Business Impact, Economic Output, Employment Contribution) as features in a regression model to predict local economic vitality.
