Corridor Scoring: Each corridor receives a composite health score based on new business openings, closure rate, license renewal velocity, sidewalk cafe density, DASH ridership at corridor stops, and construction permit activity. Scoring methodology is proprietary to DATABUDDIE LLC. The King Street corridor is segmented into Upper (Calhoun to Spring), Mid (Spring to Broad), and Lower (Broad to The Battery) for granular analysis.
