This document analyzes types of businesses found in New York City neighborhoods using zip code and NAICS code data. It cleans the data by extracting only NYC data and converting zip codes to ZCTA regions. It is found that the top 10 most common businesses are retail, food/drinking, personal services, and healthcare. Examples plots show concentrations of certain businesses by ZCTA in Queens, Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Bronx. Limitations include the data being from 2012 and potential biases in self-reported NAICS codes.
How is Real Estate Doing?
The real estate market in the area is showing signs of recovery but is still volatile. While home prices have dropped by around half from their peak to an average of $125,000 currently, the number of months it would take to sell all homes currently listed has fallen from a high of 46 months to 12 months now, indicating that supply and demand are becoming more balanced. Demand needs to continue outpacing supply for prices to start increasing again in a sustainable manner. The number of days homes stay on the market before selling has also dropped, which is another positive sign for the health of the market. Overall, both subjective feelings and objective data suggest the worst may be behind the market.
The EDGE: Week of December 19, 2011
Mortgage rates hit new record lows, with the 30-year fixed rate dropping to 3.94% and the 15-year fixed rate falling to 3.21%. Refinancing applications are up over 9% while purchase applications decreased by over 8%.

Houston real estate market data for the week ending December 11, 2011 showed new listings down 16.9% but pending sales up 25.6% while closed sales rose 7.2% compared to the same week in 2010.

Trudi Smith and the Buffalo Bayou Partnership
The Buffalo Bayou Partnership was established in 1986 to revitalize and transform Buffalo Bayou, which is Houston's most significant natural resource. It consists of over 2,500 miles of watersheds and bayous. Since its establishment, the Partnership has raised over $100 million, with 80% of that coming since 1995, to fund major capital projects like Sesquicentennial Park, Sabine Promenade, Allen's Landing, and Buffalo Bend Nature Park. Current projects include expanding the East End Trail, cleaning programs, and transforming 160 acres into Buffalo Bayou Park, an urban park visited by 500,000 people within 30 minutes of downtown Houston.
Kirk Coburn & Surge on Energy & Technology Growth in Houston

It also describes an accelerator program focused on energy and water technologies, noting its results in investments, pilots/customers, jobs created, and global recognition.

Bob Harvey from the GHP on the Economics of Houston
This document discusses how Houston is poised to become the next great global city. It highlights Houston's steady job growth and economic recovery since the recession, with the metro area outpacing other large cities in the US in jobs recovered. Charts show growth in key economic indicators for Houston such as vehicle sales, building permits, and home sales. The energy industry continues to be an important driver for Houston, as shown in charts on oil production and gas prices. However, the document also notes Houston is working to diversify its economy beyond energy. It concludes by identifying seven emerging themes that will be important for Houston's further development as a leading global city, including education, transportation, quality of life, economic drivers, and its increasing diversity.
