The Restaurant Growth Index is supplied by Nielsen and ranks U.S. metropolitan areas based on a formula to identify restaurant spending and gaps in spending per capita compared to a national average. The RGI score is calculated on an area's total restaurant sales and sales as a percent of per capita income, compared to the nation as a whole. The national average is 100. The higher the score over 100, the better the opportunities; scores below 100 indicate poorer opportunities. Markets are scored as a whole. Markets that score below 100 may still have strong pockets of opportunity within them.
