Screening-level estimates of the economic and fiscal effects of City Centre West. Figures are decision-support context with named assumptions and sensitivity ranges — not predictions. The full analysis has the interactive assumptions panel and maps; methods documents every formula.

Headline estimates

• New residents: 153 (range 118 – 188) — households x persons per multifamily unit (Rutgers CUPR bedroom-mix multipliers)
• Annual capture: project's own ground-floor retail: $9,770 (range $5,656 – $13k) — Huff model over individual retail POIs: joint destination+mode choice, P(j,m) ~ A_j * w_m * exp(-b_m t_mj), CES category spend; clusters are a reporting rollup; own retail competes as a destination
• New annual spending arriving on foot: $318k (range $59k – $1.4M) — walk-mode share of the joint destination+mode Huff choice, summed over businesses; walking loses to driving with walk time, so the remainder of the mode-split budget arrives by car
• Real estate tax increase: $579k (range $411k – $714k) — projected minus current RE tax
• Net annual fiscal impact — naive per-capita method: −$173k (range −$722k – $422k) — incremental new recurring revenue minus service cost (upper-bound cost framing; allocates fixed citywide costs)
• Net annual fiscal impact — marginal framing: $351k (range −$278k – $885k) — incremental new recurring revenue minus service cost (only services that scale with new residents)
