This document summarizes Social Compact's work analyzing 350 underserved neighborhoods containing 1.5 million residents and $36 billion in buying power. It discusses how information gaps and negative perceptions can lead to economic decline in urban areas. It then highlights several case studies Social Compact conducted in Detroit, Miami, Cincinnati, and Washington D.C. analyzing factors like property values, retail performance, business environments, and resident spending habits to better understand local markets.
