Types of location data in MapBees

The same five groups you see in the app — with example measure names from current coverage. For the complete listing, open the full data catalog index.

A sixth group, Your data, appears once you add a file of your own points with Add your file: each measure counts your points in each hex, or sums or averages a number from the file. Your file stays in your browser, so it is not part of this catalog.

Building volume

14 building types · m3

Volume per hex by building type — useful for demand proxies and built-environment context. Buildings Overture Maps gives no type are counted as their own type, No type recorded, in cities whose data carries it.

How detailed is the list of categories of place?

Place data is not a flat tag list. Categories are nested — broad categories like Retail or Eat & drink contain many kinds of place. That is why one city can expose hundreds of selectable measures while staying easy to browse in the filter panel.

Which tools use these measures?

Score

Combines chosen measures from any group as factors, each with its importance and a More is better / Less is better direction, into one score from 0–100 per hex.

Amount, Fair share, Missing and Clusters

Draw one measure per hex: how much of it there is, how it compares with the city average, how many are missing against the city's rate, or whether a busy or quiet part of the map is more than chance.

Variety

Reads a set of kinds of place per hex: how mixed it is, how even, or how many of the kinds are there.

Cross two

Shades every hex by two measures at once on one 3×3 color grid.

Layers

Draws the counts of several categories of place at once, one hue each.

Your formula

Puts one value per hex together from counts of places, people or building volume: A per B, A as a share of a set, or A minus B.

Market Share

Uses chosen demand measures side by side, each in its own report section next to total population.

Territory Mapping

Totals supported population, place, building, and demographic measures inside each area and overlap.

Explore by city, then open the app

For city-level pages and neighborhood guides, open /locations. To run a Score, Cross two, Your formula, territory mapping, or market share with live controls, open /app.

This catalog is decision-support context built from public data. Use it to shortlist and compare neighborhoods quickly, then confirm final decisions with local checks.

Quick questions

Which countries does MapBees support?

MapBees supports Germany, United States, France, Spain, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Switzerland, Australia, Canada, and Brazil in its location catalog coverage — including major cities such as Berlin, New York City, Paris, Madrid, London, Amsterdam, Zürich, Sydney, Toronto, and São Paulo.

What types of data are available in MapBees?

MapBees supports measures in five groups: Building volume, Places (by category and kind of place), Population & age, Affluence, and Accessibility. Availability varies by city. A sixth group, Your data, holds measures made from a file of your own points; it stays in your browser.

Can Market Share use different demand measures?

Yes. Market Share always includes a population baseline and can add selected demand lenses side by side, such as households, age, places, income-weighted demand, building volume, or a measure from your own data.

Can Cross two compare any two supported measures?

Yes. The Cross two map shades every hex by two supported measures at once, as long as both exist in the selected city; measures summed on one axis must share a unit.

Does Territory Mapping aggregate these same measures?

Yes. Territory Mapping aggregates supported population, place, building, and demographic measures inside each area and overlap area.
