10/18/2017
Every town, village, hamlet, and metropolis in America has put together a committee and a Powerpoint presentation aimed at landing the most sought-after development project in decades: Amazon’s second headquarters. Handicapping the race is a wealth-tech investment platform called AlphaFlow, and it places the early odds on Atlanta, Cincinnati, and Memphis.

AlphaFlow considered five key factors in singling out 14 cities as prime sites for Jeff Bezos’s second home: 1.) increase in Housing Price Index over the last 25 years; 2.) Housing Price Index over last 12 months; 3.) adjusted gross incomes from $0-$200,000; 4.) increase/decrease in building permits in 2016, and 5.) median home value.

The Favored 14, in order of their suitability, are:
1. Atlanta
2. Cincinnati
3. Memphis
4. Louisville
5. Nashville
6. Pittsburgh
7. Columbus
8. Minneapolis
