Concentration of Alcohol Sales

In Walker, the bulk of alcohol sales in December 2025 are concentrated in zip code 77340, accounting for a substantial 83% of total sales with $722,967. This area hosts 31 establishments, suggesting a vibrant market presence. In contrast, zip code 77320 contributes $143,720 to the total, with just 7 establishments, indicating a less dense but potentially underserved market.

Differences in Alcohol Preferences

When we break down the sales mix, both zip codes show a strong preference for liquor, but there's a notable difference in beer sales. Zip code 77340 has a lower beer sales percentage at 24%, whereas 77320 sees a higher preference with 34% of its total sales. Wine sales are minimal in both regions, with 6% in 77340 and an even lower 4% in 77320.

Opportunities for New Establishments

Given the high concentration of establishments in zip code 77340, new businesses might face significant competition. However, zip code 77320, with fewer establishments and a distinct preference for beer, presents an opportunity for growth, especially for businesses focusing on beer or niche liquors. This area might benefit from a new establishment that caters to emerging trends or offers a unique selection.

Insights and Patterns

The dominance of liquor sales in both zip codes highlights a strong local preference, suggesting that new ventures should consider focusing on this segment. Additionally, the lower presence of wine sales across both areas might indicate an untapped market for premium or specialized wine options, potentially appealing to a niche audience. Businesses looking to enter Walker's alcohol market should consider these insights to tailor their offerings effectively.

The steady number of businesses reflects a saturated market that is maintaining its customer base effectively.

Seasonal and Yearly Comparisons
