MKTG 381: Group Assignment #1: Using Secondary Data: Question 6

Using Census Data, select two locations you think might be strong markets for your product/organization. Compare the market profile you created in Question 5 to the data from Census Data and indicate whether your selected location would or would not be a good location to market your product/organization. 

When answering this question:

• Use the same 5 demographic variables as Q#5 (age, income, education, gender, occupation)
• Report the key similarities and differences of the two locations using a side-by-side table format
• Describe the results of the analysis: Which location is better, is neither a good location, are both?

Note: The Census will provide demographic overview but doesn't cover media use. 

Screenshots of Census Data should be included in the Appendix with relevant data highlighted in yellow.
