Neighbourhoods far from a hospital

What it does

Every quarter: blocks of your city where people live with no hospital within 5 km, the most populated first, with a planning note from xMap AI, for health planning.

In one sentence: Monthly on the 1st at 08:00, in Paris, count who lives around, keep those where population ≥ 300, count the hospitals within 5 km of each, keep those where nearby_count ≤ 0, sort them by population and keep the top 20, write a report with xMap AI, then show them on a map and email the list to you.

Why it is useful

Health planning needs to see where people live far from care. This flow shows the gaps block by block.

The time it saves

Monthly on the 1st at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 480 minutes each time; it runs about 1 time a month, so it saves about 8 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 10 blocks.
