I don't think looking at it by "streets" makes a lot of sense--and it doesn't give much of a real measure of "Union Square" because, as we all know, much of the "Union Square retail district" is not actually on the square. I'd find it more interesting to compare the Mid-town district (that would include 5th Ave, Madison Ave AND East 57th St. as well as a number of other nearby streets), the Union Square district (i.e the square itself and adjacent shopping streets like Post, Sutter, Maiden Lane, Grant, Stockton, Powell and even the part of Market between 6th and 3rd). When I was in Chicago, I didn't notice a lot of retail off Michigan Ave. itself but if there is a "district" that goes beyond the Avenue, it should get the same inclusive treatment for comparison.
