Where young people have least to do
Blocks with many young people and few places for them.
What it does
Every year: blocks of your city with many young people and the fewest sports grounds, youth clubs and libraries within 2 km, ranked, for the youth ministry.
In one sentence: Monthly on the 1st at 08:00, in Kigali, count who lives around, count the sports complexes, youth centers and 2 more within 2 km of each, work out new fields, sort them by per_place and keep the top 20, write a report with xMap AI, then email the list to you.
Why it is useful
Young people with nowhere to go is a problem for the whole city. The gaps are ranked.
Who it is for

The time it saves
Monthly on the 1st at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 180 minutes each time; it runs about 1 time a month, so it saves about 3 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.
