High or Very High Gap
Investigate recruitment and growth. Look for sectors where more firms, suppliers, locations, or entrepreneurs may be warranted. Pair that work with workforce, capital, sites, infrastructure, and existing-business expansion.
This site compares business supply, household income capacity, and 10-year business momentum across Texas legislative districts. It is designed to help legislative offices, chambers, cities, and economic-development partners decide where deeper market work may be warranted.
A high score does not mean a district is "good" and a low score does not mean it is "bad." The score is a screening tool for economic-development strategy. It helps identify where the broad conditions justify asking a deeper question: Does this district need more business capacity, and in which industries or places?
