==Outline / Major topics==
##To test, compare areas designated as "innovation districts" with similar areas around medical centers and/or Fortune 500 companies.
## Also compare to Kendall Square and South Lake Union. (South Lake union includes Amazon's HQ so it would already be in the data.)
###The Cortex in St. Louis also seems real.
#What kind of data?
##Demographic data for surrounding area
###Household income, home ownership, home value
###Ethnic Ethnicity and racial make uprace
###Highest level of education completed
###How do these compare to nearby areas?
##American Communities Survey (US Census)
###Tables can be generated by zip code at https://www.census.gov/acs/www/data/data-tables-and-tools/
###American FactFinder https://factfinder.census.gov/faces/nav/jsf/pages/index.xhtml
##US Census Economic data
###https://www.census.gov/econ/geo-zip.html
####Many of the data sources from the above website seem to have been moved as of 6/13/17.
###https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/economic-census.html
###Note: Census tract data not available at these urls as of 6/13/17
###Census tracts seem to be smaller than zip codes particularly in urban areas, so this might be a more precise unit of data
###Problems: it may be difficult (or impossible) to determine census tract for VC, Fortune 500, and Medical Centers. ACS data by census tract is not publicly accessible.
