Abstract
Methods and computer-readable media having computer-usable instructions for evaluating and displaying trade information for a user. Customer addresses are received, and then a buffer area is created around each of the customer address. The buffer area for each address is combined to generate at least one aggregated area. The aggregated area is then disaggregated to define a polygon which is useful for generating a density map, indicating an ideal retail location for a new store, and determining which retail store to relocate or close.
