French term

étude de localisation

French to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general)
Or, pour monsieur X, l'emplacement du casino est dangereux et immoral. Dangereux car situé en zone inondable, et immoral car il se situe à proximité du quartier populaire XXXXX. Si la question de la dangerosité du casino a donné lieu à moults débats au moment de l'implantation, on peut quand même relever que le choix de la municipalité précédente a été avalisé à tous les niveaux. Quant à la fréquentation en masse des habitants de YYY (ville) elle est battue en brèche par une *étude de localisation* des 30.000 titulaires de la carte CasinoPass de ZZZ(ville). Il en ressort que la clientèle de proximité (YYy ou le centre-ville) n'est pas celle du casino, mais vient de plus loin.

analysis/study of the address details of the....

Not the most elegant way of putting it, but it is saying that based on card/passholders' address details, the casino's ccustomers do not come from the immediate area.
Peer comment(s):
neutral B D Finch : could this imply a breach of privacy/confidentiality?

I suppose it would depend on any data-related terms and conditions of the card, but "address details" might be broad enough to cover a situation where only part of the address (e.g. district) is required for any analysis

location plotting

Probably this involved producing a map with each card holder represented by a dot, so that one could see where the dots clustered.
