Empower Your Economy with a State of the City Report

The data-driven insights that matter to talent, investment, and visitors.

You already know that data is the lifeblood of informed decision-making. In an increasingly competitive environment, cities must leverage competitive insight not just to understand where they stand today, but to forecast and shape their future. This is where our State of the City report comes in—a bespoke tool designed to benchmark your city against competitors, attract and retain skilled talent, and drive economic growth.

Our State of the City report is a comprehensive, data-driven analysis that benchmarks your city against others on national and global scales.

Leveraging our proprietary Place PowerTM methodology, inspired by the acclaimed Best Cities rankings, we provide an in-depth assessment of your city's performance across critical metrics that define Livability, Lovability, and Prosperity.
