Houston, Texas
". . . Wulfe turned to Social Compact, a marketing information firm in Washington, D.C., to check the data. It's an unusual marketing information company -- nonprofit with a board composed of top executives from major companies." "Social Compact is now studying the Gulfgate neighborhoods with a report due in a couple of weeks. It's using data from property tax rolls, credit bureaus, building permits, cable television and cellular phone billing addresses and vehicle registrations. It's working through existing community organizations to gain cooperation from residents. Social Compact then modifies the sophisticated business market analysis models designed for suburban markets to reflect the different characteristics of the inner city."
