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 Sao Paulo 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 Sao Paulo and how the map type you pick changes what you can honestly say.
café demand-and-competition score — resident counts and walkable streets against existing café presence
In Sao Paulo, the highest-ranking Standouts are Sapopemba, Artur Alvim, and Grajaú. Sapopemba leads with a score of 81.5/100 across 44 hexes, showing ≈1 café nearby, ≈0.01 km of walkable streets, and ≈92,644 residents. Each Standout groups high-scoring hexes within a 1,200 m radius. On the Missing map, Sacomã and Sapopemba are short about 1 and 3 cafés respectively for residents within a 10-minute walk.
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.

pedestrian length m

Meters of walkable street — a proxy for how much passing footfall a frontage can see.
Total residents
More is better
30%
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 it carries no spending power at all — the Brazilian census publishes no income at this geography. Overture Maps covers central Sao Paulo far more densely than the periphery, so thin mapped presence on the outskirts can reflect the map rather than the market.
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 your customers actually fall into.
· Draw your own catchment on the map to score just that area.
All of these are adjustable on the Sao Paulo map on the Free Tier.
The same question for other kinds of place
Same factors and importance, only the kind swapped. The Standouts are the Score map’s; the last column is where that kind is short for the people who live there, on the Missing map.
This answer identifies Standouts by ranking every hex in Sao Paulo. The ranking considers café competition (less is better, importance 45%), pedestrian length m (more is better, importance 25%), and Total residents (more is better, importance 30%).
Sapopemba ranks #1 with a score of 81.5/100 across 44 hexes, showing ≈1 café nearby, ≈0.01 km of walkable streets, and ≈92,644 residents.

What this can’t tell you
Brazilian food retail is badly served by this category: padarias, which do much of the day-to-day food trade in Sao Paulo, are usually tagged as bakeries under eating and drinking rather than as grocery, and street markets are not mapped as places at all. So a thin grocery count understates real food access, sometimes heavily. It is a rank blend, not a residents-per-store ratio, and store count is presence, not floor area or range.
Try changing it
· Add mapped bakeries to the picture, which is where padarias are tagged.
· Drop the grocery term to rank on residents alone.

Within a 10-minute walk of São Mateus, parks fall short of Sao Paulo's rate by about 1 (2 mapped, 3 expected). Pedreira and Grajaú are short by about 1 and 2.
One hex is too small to show a shortfall: at the Sao Paulo rate, less than half of one is expected in 99 of every 100 hexes. 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.

Where do the most people in Sao Paulo live with the thinnest sewer coverage?
Resident counts against household sewer-network connection — a coverage gap score
In Sao Paulo, the highest-ranking Standouts are Cidade Ademar, Capão Redondo, and Sapopemba. Cidade Ademar leads with a score of 79.7/100 across 39 hexes, showing ≈110,441 total residents and 90% sewer-network sanitation share. Each Standout is a group of high-scoring hexes within a 1,200 m radius.
A shortlist by 2 factors, not a site recommendation.
How this answer was built
Residents scored up and the household sewer-connection share scored down, so a hex ranks high when many people live where network connection is thin. Ranking the share on its own finds sparsely populated edges; weighting the resident count alongside it finds where the gap affects the most people.

What this can’t tell you
Residents and households are two different universes counted separately — the census publishes no household count or mean household size at sector level, so this is a rank blend and not a residents-per-connection ratio. It says nothing about means, and a low connection share is a fact about infrastructure, not about the people living there.
Try changing it
· Drop the resident term to rank on connection share alone.
· Invert the connection term to find well-served dense hexes instead.
All of these are adjustable on the Sao Paulo map on the Free Tier.

Every answer reads Sao Paulo hex by hex on one of the map types below, then groups the hexes at the end it asks about into Standouts. Sources: IBGE Censo 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
August 1, 2022 is the census reference date; collection ran past it, but every figure is counted as of that day.
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.
IBGE Censo 2022 is a single vintage, so nothing here describes growth, decline or any change over time.
“Population density per km²” is computed by this pipeline from published components; the publisher does not release it directly.
“Literacy rate (aged 15+)” is computed by this pipeline from published components; the publisher does not release it directly.
“Sewer-network sanitation share” is computed by this pipeline from published components; the publisher does not release it directly.
Counted as residents aged 20–29 on August 1, 2022, the IBGE Censo 2022 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 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.
