How to perform a market macroanalysis

[Cornelius Brady]

Hi everyone, 

I'm in the military (currently in San Antionio, TX) and i'm trying to decide if I want to invest in each market I PCS (permanent change of station) to or if I want to invest in one market. I'm not sure how to perform/what goes into a macroanalysis for a market. Could anyone shed some light on what to look at/what resources to use to look at each component? 

I know of a couple factors, such as, employment rates and population growth, but that's about it. 

Thanks so much for your help
