<br />City of La Porte Study Area <br />La Porte's two industrial zones (Battleground Industrial District and Bayport Industrial <br />District) are not within its city limits. As a result, datasets specific to the city limits of La Porte <br />undercount local business activity. Because firms located in the industrial districts paid over <br />$10.0 million "in lieu of taxes" in 2008 and employ thousands of workers, any analysis of La <br />Porte should include these areas. To address this issue, TXP defined the La Porte "Study <br />Area" based on two zip codes: 77571 and 77507 (outlined in red in Figure 1). While not a <br />perfect fit for La Porte and the industrial zones, the Study Area boundaries provide an <br />appropriate representation of the city's business profile. Un'lessdenoted as the Study Area, <br />the information presented is limited to La Porte's city lirTIjfs, (e)(. population estimates) <br />highlighted in green in Figure 1. <br /> <br /> <br />Figure 1: City of La Porte Study Area - Zip Codes' <br /> <br />ill \~ <br />f {to <br />1 \i& ..~ <br />v~ ~ <br />,'1", ~ <br />_$1 \'\:t.............. _~~ ~...../ . rY <br />~;;~ .. <br />.
