This survey is one in which I might offer a suggestion not already mentioned by other comments:<br /><br />Escorts travel. Dallas in particular is a very solid nexus to reach any one of several major cities throughout the region. One thing you could do to tweak the data would be to compile and cross-reference escort phone listings to see whether they are actually stationed in Plano permanently, or whether it just happened to be where many had previously advertised but actually weren't located at the time (many escorts are very high-class, requiring appointments days in advance; this gives them a reliable client base and the opportunity to travel to expand their marketable range). Also, it might be worth noting that many clients are businessmen and businesswomen who travel to another regional city; Again, as a major regional hub, Dallas is a city with a high number of business travelers. As to why specifically Plano I can only speculate, but I'd wager that, as another comment mentioned, it's an upper-class neighborhood, so it's chosen as a way to minimize risks associated with a potentially-illegal "transaction."ShakmeteMalikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00256912829559246208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1166669645725536266.post-89206146939202167312010-12-03T02:32:44.465-05:002010-12-03T02:32:44.465-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Contact US:https://www.blogger.com/profile/08572257590957616518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1166669645725536266.post-11513209599357282482010-06-01T15:40:49.396-04:002010-06-01T15:40:49.396-04:00Escorts Camden are working there as it is a very r...<a href="http://www.escortcamden.co.uk" rel="nofollow">Escorts Camden</a> are working there as it is a very reach area.

I think an analysis of escorts per unit of population may provide an interesting view of escort popularity in an area. 500 escorts in Chicago would less significant (in terms of popularity) than 500 escorts in Raleigh NC.
