Big Box Store/Market Area Analysis. Updated daily, view/analyze store locations including Wal-Mart, Lowes Stores, Home Depot, and Target. Use our unique BigBox Index, calculated at the block group (BG) level (210,000 geographic areas covering the U.S. wall-to-wall), to examine the combined BigBox Index with demographics for the immediate area or your custom defined site area. The BigBox Index is computed by assigning an index to each BG reflecting the concentration of Big Box stores in or near the specific block group.
