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 Jose 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 Jose and how combining them changes what you can honestly say.
Which San Jose areas have many residents but few bank branches?
Coverage gap index — 2020 Census resident counts ranked against mapped bank branches
In San Jose, the highest-ranking areas are Mayfair North, Santee & Ferrari and Edenvale. Mayfair North leads with a score of 88.7/100 across 38 blocks, where the data shows ≈2 bank or credit unions nearby and ≈24,418 residents (total). Each area is a cluster of high-scoring blocks within a 1,200 m radius.
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.

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.

The ACS publishes household income in 17 brackets. A bracket is a count, so unlike the income figure it sums correctly and survives being placed on the map grid intact — which is why these pages can state a number rather than describe a level.

Household income is not individual earnings and not wealth, and it is a five-year sample estimate in 2022 dollars with a wide margin of error in small areas. A bracket count says nothing about who is in those households.

How this query was built
Rent burden is the one place the US census crosses rent with income directly: the table reports rent as a percentage of household income, so the 30%-and-over bands sum to a published count. Everywhere else, rent and income are separate tables that can only be laid over each other.

· Compare against the race categories to see how origin and race intersect in each area.
· Add eat-and-drink venues to compare the local food scene against resident composition, as an overlap.

Where is it easiest to live without a car in San Jose?
Car-light access index — transit stops, bike-share docks and car-share pickup points
In San Jose, the areas with the highest scores for transit access are Sunol-Midtown, North San Jose, and Erikson. Sunol-Midtown leads with a score of 11/100 across 36 blocks, showing ≈14 transit stops, bike-share points at ≈0, and car rental points at ≈0. Each area represents a cluster of high-scoring blocks within a 1,200 m radius.
Three mobility signals that substitute for car ownership: transit stops, bike-share docks, and car rental or car-share pickup points. All three are network infrastructure, so the index stays inside one universe.

How this query was built
All fourteen mapped building types summed into one figure, so the answer is total built mass rather than any single use. The members are added before ranking, which is why this reads as a measurement and not as an index of separate signals.

Every mapped building subtype, summed — the area's total built volume in m3.
What this can’t tell you
Volume is not population, floor area or occupancy: a warehouse and an apartment block of the same size count the same. It also says nothing about height — a wide low building can out-measure a narrow tall one — and heights are partly modelled where Overture lacks a measurement.

Every query ranks San Jose 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.

How far each answer can be pushed
Each question is labelled with a tier. The tier caps what the answer may claim, whatever the numbers say.
T4 — This is a ranking of places, not a measurement of people. The signals it combines are counted in different universes — the data contains no table crossing them — so a high rank means both signals rank high in the same area, not that they describe the same residents.
