Understanding Index Value In Segmentation Reports
Index is one of the main results figures in Segmentation Reports. Index signifies the likelihood of occurrence for a certain event or characteristic.The base number for Index is 100. Any value above a 100 means the probability is higher, the number less than a 100, shows that the probability is lower.
For example, run the Market Potential Report to evaluate the potential for selling or leasing new cars for $35K+ to population in California and Arkansas [data for 2016]. The index of 68 for Arkansas indicates that the likelihood of selling this type of product in Arkansas is very low; the index of 119 for California shows that people in California are likely to buy/lease $35K+ cars.
