San Antonio location questions, and how to ask them yourself

50 worked map questions for San Antonio, each showing the census and map fields it weighs, its limits, and a live map link you can change.

How to use these

Each entry below is one question turned into a map query. It names the fields it weighs and why, shows the areas that come out on top with their real measured values, and states what the data cannot tell you. The link at the end opens that exact query on the San Antonio map with the weights already set, so you can change a weight, swap a field, or draw your own area and get a different answer.

None of these are the “right” query. They are starting points chosen to show which fields exist for San Antonio and how combining them changes what you can honestly say.

Which San Antonio areas have many residents but few bank branches?

Coverage gap index — 2020 Census resident counts ranked against mapped bank branches

In San Antonio, the highest-ranking areas are North San Antonio Hills, Lackland Terrace, and North Central. North San Antonio Hills leads with a score of 94.1/100 across 37 blocks, showing ≈0 bank or credit unions nearby and ≈14,416 total residents. Each area represents a cluster of high-scoring blocks within a 1,200 m radius.

How this query was built

Residents ranked high against mapped bank and credit-union branches ranked low. It is called a coverage gap rather than an absence because the scorer blends percentile ranks: an area can top this index while still having several branches in it.

FieldRanks higher whenWeightWhy it’s here
bank or credit union competitionlower50%Count of mapped bank and credit-union branches, scored inverted so thinner presence ranks higher.
Totalhigher50%The 2020 Census resident count — the demand side of the blend.

What this can’t tell you

It is not residents per branch. Two areas with very different true ratios can rank identically, and a high rank never means there is no branch nearby — only that mapped branch presence is thin relative to population.

Try changing it

  • · Raise the branch weight to lean the index toward supply rather than demand.
  • · Swap residents for the 65-and-over count to target a specific customer profile.

All of these are adjustable on the San Antonio map on the Free Tier.

What this can’t tell you

Mapped grocery presence is not food access: it carries no store size, no price level, no fresh-produce range and no opening hours, and a large supermarket just outside a hex serves it perfectly well. This ranks places; it does not identify anywhere as being without food.

Overlap index — ACS 2018-2022 income levels ranked with 2020 Census age counts

In San Antonio, the areas with the highest scores are Great Northwest, Northwest, and Mt. Arrowhead. Great Northwest has a score of 79.2/100 across 37 blocks, with a median income of 95,726 and approximately 2,408 residents aged 25-39. Each area represents a cluster of high-scoring blocks within a 1,200 m radius.

How this query was built

Household income and the 25-39 age band are ranked together, high on both. They come from different censuses — income is an ACS 2018-2022 block-group estimate, the age count a 2020 Census 100% enumeration — and from different universes, households and people.

What this can’t tell you

It cannot say that the residents aged 25-39 are the ones with the high incomes. No table crosses age with income, so this is two separate distributions ranking high in the same place: an overlap of areas, not a description of anybody.

Try changing it

  • · Switch to household income brackets for a countable income figure instead of a level.
  • · Swap the age band for 18-24 or 65-and-over to move the profile.

How this query was built

The ACS publishes a household income figure per block group. The map grid is finer than a block group, so each hex carries a population-weighted average of the block-group figures covering it — which is why this page says "income level" rather than quoting a median for a neighbourhood.

What this can’t tell you

Residents are not customers — nightlife draws people from across a city, so a residential area with few bars may simply be where people sleep rather than where they go out. Licensing and zoning are not in the data.

Try changing it

  • · Add pedestrian street length to favour areas that can carry evening footfall.

How this query was built

Renter-occupied units ranked alongside transit stop density, both high. Renters are more transit-dependent than owners on average, so this is the combination a rental platform or build-to-rent operator cares about.

What this can’t tell you

It cannot say the renters use the transit — the US extract carries no commute-mode table. Stop count is not frequency, and tenure counts units rather than households.

How the scoring works

Every query ranks San Antonio block by block on the fields it names, combines those ranks into a 0–100 score using the weights shown, then groups the highest-scoring blocks into areas. Sources: US Census 2020 (NHGIS). Because the score is a blend of ranks rather than a ratio, it tells you how areas compare with each other — not how many of anything there are per resident.

Each block is scored as a weighted percentile rank over available signals, renormalised by data coverage, rescaled to 0-100; blocks are H3 resolution 9 hexagons. Areas were formed with the score cluster engine at a 1.2 km radius, keeping the 5 strongest. Change the radius on the map to widen or tighten them.

Areas are only ranked where the thing being measured could actually exist, so a gap search 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. Anywhere the measure is already present counts as a candidate by definition.

Dating the numbers

  • The decennial census is a single-day count. Block-level age detail exists only for the census year; no official product updates it annually.
  • Places, buildings and transportation come from a dated Overture release. A place record means the venue is mapped, not that it is licensed, open, or of any particular size.
  • US Census 2020 (NHGIS) is a single vintage, so nothing here describes growth, decline or any change over time.
  • Counted as residents aged 25–39 on 1 April 2020, the US Census 2020 (NHGIS) reference date. Those residents are older now; census age bands are never rolled forward, because people move in, move away and die, and the published band cannot be re-aged without a full cohort model.
