Method & notes
District expenditure is a broad consumption signal that becomes more useful when combined with population and category-specific demand.
METHOD & LIMITATIONSHow the numbers were calculated
PulseKita uses DOSM's district-level HIES mean gross monthly household expenditure. This is total household expenditure, not category-specific retail spending.
- Mean expenditure can be influenced by high-spending households and household size.
- The measure does not reveal which categories households spend on.
- Use this as a broad consumption signal rather than a direct sales forecast.
