How to better your business with GIS

Our country is a very diverse place. Some people may not accept it, some people may not even realize it. 

I am from Malden, 7 minutes north of Boston. Malden is a very diverse city. In fact, Malden High School (I did not attend) was recently named the most diverse high school in all of Massachusetts.

With a diverse demographic comes diverse restaurants and stores. Towns like Marblehead have your average roast beef shop or pizza place. Heavily populated diverse cities such as Malden have places like Habesha Ethiopian restaurant and Oppa’s Korean kitchen and bar.

Malden, MA current ethnic restaurant location

What I did was look at what neighborhoods consisted of what nationalities, where are the most popular ethnic restaurants in Malden, and where they can relocate to better improve business and suffice the people living in those areas depending or race.

I gathered my data through ESRI online. It took a lot of trial and error to finally find the data I was looking for which was Malden, Massachusetts’ demographics by neighborhood. I ended up finding exactly what I was looking for. The data contained the outline of Malden, divided neighborhoods, surrounding cities, tract census, population and demographics for each neighborhood, and Massachusetts blockgroups.
