The square footage in this calculation is based on active building permits that were closed in the last year. Permit activity fluctuates from year to year based on greater economic conditions and the timeline and review process of general development projects.

Tax Increment Reinvestment Zones

A tax increment reinvestment zone (TIRZ) is an infrastructure financing tool made possible by Chapter 311 of the Texas Tax Code to assist cities in developing or redeveloping blighted and substandard areas. The purpose of the zone is to attract new investment. All taxes collected on new improvements (tax increments) are set aside in a fund to finance public improvements within the boundaries of the zone. Once all projects are completed, or after a defined period of time, the TIRZ is dissolved.

Market Potential Indices (MPI)

A Market Potential Index (MPI) is the ratio of the local consumption rate for a product or service relative to the US consumption rate for that product or service, multiplied by 100. In short, this index measures demand for a market. 

If the index is greater than 100, then local demand for that market is higher than the national average.

If the index is less than 100, then local demand is lower than the national average.
