What is GfK Retail Centrality?

GfK Retail Centrality is a measure of the attractiveness of a city with regard to its ability to draw and sustain retail trade. A city is considered particularly attractive economically when it achieves a purchasing power higher than that which would be possible from its inhabitants alone. This can be determined by comparing the retail trade purchasing power of the city’s residents with the turnover achieved at that location (GfK POS Turnover for Retail). The resulting centrality rating is a measure of the extent and frequency of customer in- and outflows from that region.
