Student housing around each university
Student housing around each university and the young adults nearby, every month.
What it does
Every month: the universities of your city, the student housing within 2 km, the people living around, a note by xMap AI for the acquisitions team, emailed and mapped.
In one sentence: Monthly on the 1st at 08:00, in Melbourne, find universities in the area, count the student housing centers within 2 km of each, count who lives around, write a summary of each with xMap AI, then email the list to you and show them on a map.
Why it is useful
Student housing investors need supply and demand around each campus. This flow measures both in one email.
Who it is for
Education & training. Schools, nurseries, universities and training companies planning campuses, enrolment and partners. Every use case for education & training
Best use cases
- A student housing investor
- A university housing office
- A property developer
What each run gives you
- An email with the list
- A map of the results
The time it saves
Monthly on the 1st at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 120 minutes each time, so it saves about 8 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 8 blocks.

How to set it up
- Build your first flow in ten minutes: From a blank page to a flow that emails you a ranked list every morning.
- Ask the map a question: How many of a kind of place, how many people for each, and where the gaps are, answered on the spot.
- Count what is around each of your places: Competitors, footfall magnets or services within a distance of each site.
- Compare sites side by side: Two or three spots measured the same way, one column each, the best of every row marked and the best site and why.
- Location intelligence: Using where things are, and what is around them, to make business decisions.
- Site selection: Choosing where to open a store, branch, clinic or facility.
- How to score candidate store sites: Compare sites on residents, competitors and neighbours, with an AI score and a reason.
