The MissionPoint report identifies the top 24 locations within the chosen geographical area. These locations are chosen based on the following factors within the site location:

• A weighting algorithm that includes the following variables: number of households, percent of active evangelical presence, percent of unreached, and percent of religious - but not evangelical.

• Ring size based on the Sitescape location type: city (generally inner city or high density area) - 1/2 mile ring; suburb - 1 1/2 mile ring; towns - 3 mile ring; and country - 7 mile ring.

• Distance from other chosen locations based on the Sitescape density location type: city – 1-2 miles; suburb - 3- 4 miles; town – 6-8 miles, and country – 14-16 miles.

Each MissionPoint report identifies each location by census tract centroid, latitude & longitude, city, county, Sitescape category and group, density and population patterns, number of households (current year), and the number of households and percentage for: active evangelicals, unreached status, religious but not evangelical, spiritual but not evangelical, and not evangelical and not interested in religion or spirituality. A map of the locations is also provided.
