## Also compare to Kendall Square and South Lake Union. (South Lake union includes Amazon's HQ so it would already be in the data.)

#What kind of data?

##Demographic data for surrounding area

###Household income, home ownership, home value

###Ethnic and racial make up

###Highest level of education completed

###How do these compare to nearby areas?

##Evidence of Innovation and/or high-tech, high-growth entrepreneurship

###VC investment

###Patent filings, clinical trials

###Presence of any element of startup ecosystem such as incubator, accelerator, or hub

#How to get this data?

##Census data is organized by census tract. HUD has a tool to convert between census tract and zip code.

##Census tracts seem to be smaller than zip codes particularly in urban areas, so this might be a more precise unit of data

###Problem it may be difficult (or impossible) to determine census tract for VC, Fortune 500, and Medical Centers.
