The new demographic study commissioned by Federal Hill Main
Street in January is now available and posted on our Web site. The final report
is in two parts, the main report and the appendices.
The study’s authors (local resident Maggie Cawley on behalf
of Go Global GIS. LLC) report on the growth, changes, and opportunities in
South Baltimore compared with 2000. Since that time, Federal Hill’s population
has grown significantly as more college-educated professionals moved to the
area. In addition to college graduates, the data also show that the area has
drawn young families and “empty-nesters.”
The study also includes information on “retail opportunities”
for new businesses and the gaps that exist in the area. The data show a myriad
of opportunities for retailers in Federal Hill, including specialty food, home,
and sports-related products.
Federal Hill Main Street’s Business Development Committee
will use the report as a resource to attract new businesses and expand the
appeal of the district by meeting broader consumer demands.
If you would like to get involved or join the volunteer
committee, please contact Jane Seebold, Executive Director by emailing admin@historicfederalhill.org.
