Starbucks Density

Posted By Tom Bridge On January 26, 2005 @ 12:09 pm In Uncategorized | Comments Disabled

The folks in Chicago have come up with a new metric for urban density and business growth ^[1]. Here at my office at 12th and F above Metro Center, we’re at 61 SBD ^[2], and my condo over in Fairlington is at 32 SBD ^[3]. Converting the metric into Starbucks per Square Mile (S/mi^2), that’s a 0.77 S/mi^2 for downtown and 0.40 S/mi^2 for Fairlington.

I actually expected a lot higher cluster of Starbucks downtown, but apparently they’re all over by Georgetown. What’s your Starbucks Density?
