The 15,700-storefront vacancy map Issue 4 covered, along with its clustering finding, has now been public for six weeks. The natural follow-up is a usage check: which BIDs have actually cited the map in programming decisions, board materials, or landlord conversations, and which corridors flagged as vacancy clusters have seen any concrete block-level intervention as a result.

Watch: The first BID annual plan or board deck that cites the clustering data at block-level resolution rather than citywide summary.
