In this study, auditor appraisal real property tax data are aggregated and used to identify high and low intensities of commercial activities in census tracts. Then, the tracts are cross-classified by standard occupation classification (SOCs) categories. A discriminant analysis is performed to test whether differences actually exist in tract intensities based on the SOCs. The discriminant function correctly classified 80.0 per cent of the low- and 68.2 per cent of the high-intensity cases. An analysis of SOC percentage distributions in Cleveland, the suburban commercial sub-markets and the balance of the county reveals that jobs are more highly concentrated in the county than in the city. An index of specialisation shows that sub-markets are highly specialised in 10 of 21 SOCs, while an index of entropy shows that the sub-markets are relatively identical in occupational structure. Lastly, a multivariate analysis of variance is performed comparing the sub-markets, firm and housing characteristics, and the SOC categories. The sub-markets are largely undifferentiated on the basis of firm characteristics, but the E/R ratios, the number of housing units and the total square footage of housing space indicate that the sub-markets are somewhat different in housing characteristics. Nonetheless, all of the sub-markets have job-housing imbalances. Continuing decentralisation of population and jobs ensures that speculators and developers will expand and infill suburban sub-market clusters to the detriment of Cleveland's CBD and the chagrin of its political leaders
