Current Retail Sales Activity

By examining sales trends in various parts of town, it is possible to see which types of businesses are succeeding, which aren't, and where there may be an underserved market. The Center for Regional Studies, by special order of the governor, is able to collect and analyze taxable sales data for individual businesses in Washoe County and report that data in aggregate form by SIC code.

Because of the exhaustive process involved with entering this type of data into the GIS, detailed taxable sales analyses are currently only available for Washoe County, Carson City, and Douglas County. Custom taxable sales analyses are available for $95 for any shape/size market area in the mentioned counties.
