Are you starting a new small business or looking to break into new markets in your current industry? DemographicsNow can provide you with the information you need to see where you can most effectively set up your new business. You can log in now using your San José Public Library card.
DemographicsNow gives entrepreneurs a powerful tool that can create highly detailed maps and reports based on multiple factors ranging from demographic information to economic and purchasing trends, allowing for rich datasets for marketing decisions. Reports can be created using a Summary, Rank, or Comparison format. Popular reports are automatically available to export, or you can create your own report using a large range of variables.

Other features of note in DemographicsNow are records on 17+ million businesses that can be browsed or searched for competition research purposes. The eResource also allows for visualization using color codes to get an idea of density and scarcity of people and businesses. These maps range from general city maps to self-drawn borders that allow you to visualize to the level of specificity you want.
