Featured Maptitude Maps:
Per Household Disposable Income (By U.S. State)

This map, made with Maptitude 2014, showcases per household disposable income by US state. This statistic describes the amount of money remaining after the payment of taxes. Being able to identify those areas with money to spend is a powerful marketing tool with implications for customer identification and revenue generation. In the Maptitude USA Country Package these data are available down to the Census Tract and ZIP Code level.

"Maptitude 2014 includes Census, ACS, and FFIEC income data that saves us many hours of searching, selecting, downloading, sorting and combining data."

Maptitude and Income: Where are the spenders?

Affluent consumers are prized marketing prospects. Accordingly, marketers from retail to restaurants to financial services fiercely compete for these consumers.

Maps help you visualize the demographic and geographic attributes that can be used to analyze these populations, enabling a deeper understanding of where they live and how they can be reached.

Maptitude 2014 allows you to map variation in wealth and related statistics such as median or mean income, population by income bracket by race, disposable income by gender, education, and home value. These figures can also be compared to population density, age distribution, family size, and more.

The Maptitude 2014 USA Country Package includes extensive demographics including projections for 2015 and 2020 (more...). Upgrade to Maptitude 2014 now to access the latest income information.

Did You Know?
Creating Formula Fields Without Opening a Dataview

Formula fields in Maptitude support calculations that derive their value from other fields, expressions, or values. Formulas can help you automatically calculate the value of a field based on other fields. These can include sales penetration rates, for example, using your data plus the Maptitude demographics. Maptitude Mapping Software Did You Know

Maptitude makes it easy to create a formula field even if the working window is not a Dataview. You simply choose Dataview-Formula Fields and create your new calculation. Formulas can contain field names, arithmetic-, relational-, and logical- operators, plus many different types of numeric and string functions.

Tech Tip:Tech Tip
Create Custom Fields Such As Per Household Disposable Income Using Formula Fields

Maptitude implements a professional-strength relational database, a feature critical for GIS software. Attribute data may be freely joined to and detached from geographic layers and tables. Relational data manipulation is integrated with robust and powerful geoprocessing for spatial queries, polygon overlay, and other location-based analyses. This is supported seamlessly so that data are moved easily to and from relational tables and geographic databases. In addition, the Maptitude fixed-format binary table supports 32,767 fields and 1 billion records, and has unlimited character field widths. Table field tools include the ability to hide, show, filter, lock, format, multi-field sort, create live expression/formula fields, and perform multi-cell fills.    

Maptitude includes extensive demographics. These data, such as Caliper's proprietary purchasing power estimates, are among the most accurate available from any source and are significantly more reliable than U.S. Census data. Formula fields allow you to analyze the included data and to integrate it with your own information.     

Formula dialog box with Mean Buying Power formulaThe following steps illustrate how to create and map a per household disposable income field on the U.S. County layer:

  1. Choose File-New and use Create-a-Map Wizard to create a general purpose map for a state of interest.

  2. If the County layer is not visible, use the Display Manager to make it visible and make it the working layer.

  3. Choose Map-Color Theme or click Color Theme MapWizard Button.

  4. Choose Formula... from the bottom of the Field drop-down list.

  5. Using the Formula Builder drop-down lists, create the formula [10 Buying Power] / [2010_Households].

  6. In the Formula Fields drop-down, type Mean HH Buying Power.

  7. Click OK to close Formula dialog box and click OK again in the Color Theme dialog box. Maptitude creates a theme of the mean household buying power by county.

To insert your results into a presentation you can choose File-Save As to export your map for use outside of Maptitude.
