Data for Analyzing Markets

[Josh Stoddard]

Hey BP Community!

I am doing an in-depth market analysis and want to hear about important factors and where to find the respective data. I have looked around on other forums, but if you find any articles, forums, or relevant podcasts, please share the link! Finally, I know some market factors are much more meaningful than others. What factors do you think are the most important to consider?

Here is everything I have already complied. Some of the data is not current and only looks at a county level (rather than on a zip code level). If you have more specific or current data sources please share!
