The questions that decide the site

Run it yourself, in a browser, while the meeting is still going.

Demand

Compare two addresses in a minute

Type an address and get how many of your people live inside three miles of it. Do the same on the address you are weighing it against, and compare the only figure that moves the decision.

The Hexmark map: census block groups shaded by how many people match this operator's customer definition, a three mile ring around a dropped pin in Newport Beach, and the ring report beside it
Newport Beach, three miles. 4,539 people who match this operator's customers, which is the figure that goes in front of the landlord and the lender.
The Hexmark definition builder: age buckets from 25 to 44 selected, an affluence bar set to 1.5 times the metro median, and an education filter for a bachelor's degree or higher
Change who counts and every number moves.
Who counts

Define your customer once

Set the ages you serve, the income it takes to afford you, and whatever else keeps showing up in your books. Every number on the site follows it.

Competition

See who is already there

Every competitor inside the ring, counted by what a business does rather than what it's put on the sign. Closed locations dropped, duplicates counted once.

Ninety-four inside three miles of one address.
Your customers

Put your own customers on the map

Hexmark reads an ID and a zip from the system you're already keeping them in, then draws every area that sends you business against every location you run.

Overlap

See what a new site takes

Pick a location and Hexmark draws the areas it already pulls from. Open inside that fan and you're moving revenue rather than adding it.

State rules

Know if you can trade there

What your staff can do, and what a license costs you, changes at the state line. Hexmark grades every market with the statute quoted and the source linked.
