Regional Effects and Convergence in Dallas Neighborhood Housing Markets (Fall 2007): This paper, published in the Williams Review, presents selected results from the first phase of the Dynamic Neighborhood Taxonomy Project. In particular, the paper investigates two key questions relating to the dynamics of neighborhood change: the extent to which change in housing prices at the neighborhood level is driven by change in the region, and the extent to which neighborhoods tend to converge over time.
Neighborhood Scan: San Antonio (2004): These reports exemplify a line of work conducted with MetroEdge for the Annie E. Casey Foundation and other community development institutions across the country. RW Ventures conducts
specialized market analysis to assess the economic potential of urban neighborhoods, particularly for the purpose of commercial development. Using specialized metrics, data and software, we can evaluate the market opportunity for commercial development in specific neighborhoods and locations, providing community and government leaders with intelligence to attract and grow business in their cities.
