==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.
#Detroit (Quicken Loans 48226, Henry Ford Health Sys (48202), Wayne State (48202), "downtown and midtown", Kresge Foundation (donor), Invest Detroit (Community Development Financial Institution), American Lightweight Materials Manufacturing Innovation Institute 48216)
