Buxton used the following information to create Oro Valley’s Retail Site Assessment:
To begin the CommunityID process, Oro Valley selected the intersection of Tangerine Road and Oracle Road for possible retail development or revitalization. To more fully understand the retail potential of the selected site, Buxton conducted the following analyses:
-
A primary residential trade area was delineated for the site
-
The customers within the trade area were segmented according to buying habits and lifestyles
-
A profile of Oro Valley's customers within the trade area was developed
-

The purpose of these analyses is to develop Oro Valley’s customer profiles. The customer profiles are snapshots of the customers that are found within Oro Valley’s trade area. Eventhough these consumers are complex and diverse, by using a variety of databases Buxton is
able to capture and catalogue the extent to which potential demand for retailer’s goods and services are concentrated in the trade area.
By overlaying Oro Valley’s customer profiles with over 4,500 retail matching profiles in Buxton’s proprietary database, we are able to identify major categories of retail that are candidates for location in Oro Valley. This matching provides the basis for determining Oro Valley’s viability to attract retailers and restaurants and forms the basis for Buxton’s assessment.
