(Can they?) Established in 1998, 002houston has remained in the game while many others have come and gone. We originated with the boom of residential and nightlife in Downtown Houston, seeing a need to connect inner-loopers, urban dwellers and suburbia with growing trends in the Downtown area. But as Downtown grew and then development came to a halt while areas like Sugar Land, Bellaire, the Heights and so many other epicenters of Houston boomed, 002 outgrew Downtown and expanded to the Greater Houston area.

The purpose was to identify the number of locations who indicate they receive the publication on a regular basis, and further verify the number of publications distributed at the beginning of the edition cycle, and the number of editions left unclaimed by readers at the end of the edition cycle. The interviews took place throughout the audit cycle between the hours of 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM. CVC interviews indicate that 100% of reported controlled bulk drop locations verified they received 002houston magazine on a regular basis. CVC interviews indicate that less than 5% of 002houston magazine s controlled bulk distributed editions are returned to the publisher unclaimed after the edition cycle. The Circulation Verification Council estimates that all the information in this text box has a minimum accuracy level of +/-2.5% The Circulation Verification Council interviewed 667 readers in the primary market areas indicated in publication s CVC audit report.
