How to use these

Each question below is answered on the map type that fits it — Score, Amount, Fair share, Missing, Clusters or Variety — hex by hex. A hex is one hexagon on the map, about 350 m across (roughly 0.1 km²). Each answer leads with what the map found, lists its Standouts — the ranked groups of nearby hexes that come out on top — with the numbers behind them, and states what the data cannot tell you. The link at the end opens that exact map of Hamburg on the same map type, so you can change the measure, the division or the comparison and get a different answer.

None of these is the only “right” way to ask. They are starting points chosen to show which measures exist for Hamburg and how the map type you pick changes what you can honestly say.

Where should you open a new café in Hamburg?

café demand-and-competition score — resident counts and walkable streets against existing café presence

In Hamburg, the highest-ranking Standouts are Lurup (Altona), Farmsen-Berne (Wandsbek) and Lokstedt (Eimsbüttel). Lurup (Altona) leads with a score of 86.6/100 across 51 hexes, where the data shows ≈3 cafés nearby, ≈0.15 km of walkable streets and ≈26,301 residents. Each Standout is a group of high-scoring hexes within a 1,200 m radius. On the Missing map, Rahlstedt (Wandsbek) and Billstedt (Hamburg-Mitte) are short of cafés for the people who live there within a 10-minute walk (about 2 and 2 short).

A shortlist by 3 factors, not a site recommendation.

How this answer was built

Three factors: how many people are around, how walkable the streets are, and how many of this business type are already mapped there. The last is scored inverted, so a hex ranks high when demand factors are strong and existing presence is thin.

MeasureDirectionImportanceWhy it’s here
café competitionLess is better45%Count of mapped cafés already trading in the hex.
pedestrian length mMore is better25%Meters of walkable street — a proxy for how much passing footfall a frontage can see.
ResidentsMore is better30%Published resident count — the local demand base.

What this can’t tell you

This is a shortlist, not a site recommendation. It has no rent, no footfall, no unit availability, no licensing and no catchment modeling, and a thin mapped presence is not proof that a hex is unserved.

Try changing it

  • · Raise the importance of the competition factor to prioritize hexes with the least existing presence.
  • · Swap the demand factor for the age band or household type your customers actually fall into.
  • · Draw your own catchment on the map to score just that area.

All of these are adjustable on the Hamburg map on the Free Tier.

A shortlist by 2 factors, not a site recommendation.

How this answer was built

Both measures describe the street and transit network, so they sit in the same universe and combine cleanly. Pedestrian length is meters of walkable way; transit stop count is mapped stops.

MeasureDirectionImportanceWhy it’s here
pedestrian length mMore is better60%Meters of pedestrian-accessible way mapped in the hex.
transit stop countMore is better40%Count of mapped public transport stops.

What this can’t tell you

Network density is not pedestrian experience. It says nothing about pavement width, traffic, lighting, gradient, or how often the transit stops are actually served.

Try changing it

  • · Weight transit stops alone to find interchange-heavy hexes.
  • · Add resident counts to see where walkable network and population overlap.

All of these are adjustable on the Hamburg map on the Free Tier.

A shortlist by 2 factors, not a site recommendation.

How this answer was built

Floor space per resident scored up against rent per m² scored down. Both are published means over the same dwellings, so this stays inside one universe and describes the housing stock: roomy relative to what it costs.

MeasureDirectionImportanceWhy it’s here
Average living space per residentMore is better55%Published mean dwelling floor space per resident.
Average net rent per m²Less is better45%Average net cold rent per m², scored inverted so cheaper stock ranks higher.

What this can’t tell you

Neither measure describes the people living there, and more space per person is not wealth — low occupancy raises it just as large dwellings do. The rent is an average across the housing stock, not a quoted price.

Try changing it

  • · Drop the rent term to rank on space alone.
  • · Switch to living space per apartment to describe dwellings rather than occupancy.

All of these are adjustable on the Hamburg map on the Free Tier.

A shortlist by 2 factors, not a site recommendation.

How this answer was built

Rent scored down against transit stops scored up — the trade-off most people actually make when choosing where to live. Both are published directly, so neither side is a proxy for the other.

MeasureDirectionImportanceWhy it’s here
Average net rent per m²Less is better55%Average net cold rent per m², scored inverted so cheaper hexes rank higher.
transit stop countMore is better45%Count of mapped public transport stops in the hex.

What this can’t tell you

Rent is the average across the housing stock, not what any particular flat costs or what a new tenant would pay. Stop density is not service frequency, and neither measure says anything about journey times to anywhere specific.

Try changing it

  • · Add pedestrian street length to weigh walkability alongside transit.
  • · Flip the rent direction to see the high-rent, high-transit hexes instead.
  • · Swap rent per m² for the post-1990 large-flat rent to hold the housing type constant.

All of these are adjustable on the Hamburg map on the Free Tier.

Where do Hamburg's large apartment buildings cluster?

Apartments in buildings of 13 or more units on the Clusters map — Zensus 2022

Around Barmbek-Süd and Eimsbüttel, apartments in large buildings form a cluster the test confirms as genuinely busy, indicating the pattern is not chance. This answer identifies 260 hexes across Hamburg that test as genuinely busy for apartments in large buildings, grouping the hexes with the most into Standouts.

Where are parks missing for the people who live there in Hamburg?

Mapped parks within a 10-minute walk against the number Hamburg's rate predicts for the residents there, on the Missing map — Overture Maps and Zensus 2022

Within a 10-minute walk of Rahlstedt, parks fall short of Hamburg's rate by about 1 (0 mapped, 1 expected). Sinstorf and Tonndorf are each short by about 1.

StandoutNeighborhoodShort byMappedExpectedMap
#1 RahlstedtWandsbekabout 101Short by about 1
#2 Sinstorfalso spans WilstorfHarburgabout 101Short by about 1

#4 Osdorfalso spans LurupAltonaabout 101Short by about 1
#5 Sülldorfalso spans OsdorfAltonaabout 101Short by about 1

One hex is too small to show a shortfall: at the Hamburg rate, less than half of one is expected in nearly every hex. Within a 10-minute walk 19 hexes are read together, so a shortfall has room to show. Expected is modeled from the city rate. A zero means nothing mapped, never nothing there.

Full breakdown & sources

This answer shows how many parks each hex of Hamburg is short of at the city's rate, read within a 10-minute walk, on the Missing map. The Standouts below group the hexes with the largest shortfalls. Rahlstedt ranks #1, short by about 1 across 44 hexes (0 mapped, 1 expected within a 10-minute walk of its top hex). Sinstorf ranks #2, short by about 1 across 43 hexes (0 mapped, 1 expected within a 10-minute walk of its top hex). Tonndorf ranks #3, short by about 1 across 43 hexes (0 mapped, 1 expected within a 10-minute walk of its top hex). Osdorf ranks #4, short by about 1 across 43 hexes (0 mapped, 1 expected within a 10-minute walk of its top hex). Sülldorf ranks #5, short by about 1 across 42 hexes (0 mapped, 1 expected within a 10-minute walk of its top hex). Each Standout is a group of hexes within a 1,200 m radius.

Measured as parks on the Missing map, read within a 10-minute walk; the Standouts are the hexes with the least. Last computed September 30, 2026.

How these answers were made

Every answer reads Hamburg hex by hex on one of the map types below, then groups the hexes at the end it asks about into Standouts. Sources: Zensus 2022.

  • Score — Each factor ranks every hex from 0 to 100 against the rest of the city; the Score adds them by importance, and a hex with no data for a factor is scored on the factors it has.
  • Amount — The Amount map shows one measure in every hex, as a total, per 1 000 residents, per km² or as a share of its category; a Standout pools the hexes inside its circle.
  • Variety — The Variety map scores how mixed a set of kinds is in each hex, from one kind only to an even mix; a Standout groups the most mixed third.
  • Fair share — The Fair share map divides each hex's rate by the whole city's rate, so 1× is exactly average; a Standout groups the hexes furthest from it on one side.
  • Missing — The Missing map applies the whole city's rate to each hex's residents to say how many there would be at that rate, and shows the difference in whole places.
  • Clusters — The Clusters map tests whether a hex and its neighbors hold more, or less, of a measure than chance would explain, with a correction for testing every hex at once.

Each hex is an H3 resolution 9 hexagon. Each Standout gathers hexes within 1.2 km of its center, and the 5 strongest are kept. Change the size on the map to widen or tighten them.

Hexes are only ranked where the thing being measured could actually exist, so a Less is better factor cannot present empty parkland as an opportunity. Shops, homes and offices need a building; transit stops, EV chargers and bike docks only need a street or path. A hex that already has some of the measure is always ranked.

Dating the numbers

  • Zensus 2022 is a single-day count published on a 100 m grid; it is not updated between census rounds.
  • Places, buildings and transportation come from a dated Overture Maps release. A place record means the place is mapped, not that it is licensed, open, or of any particular size.
  • Zensus 2022 is a single vintage, so nothing here describes growth, decline or any change over time.

How far each answer can be pushed

Each question is labeled with a tier. The tier caps what the answer may claim, whatever the numbers say.

  • T4 — This is a ranking of hexes, not a measurement of people. The factors it combines are counted in different universes — the data contains no table crossing them — so a high rank means both factors rank high in the same hex, not that they describe the same residents.
