Who lives around new places

What it does

Every week: the new cafes in your city, with the people living within 1 km of each (men, women, age groups), the busiest areas first.

In one sentence: Mondays at 08:00, in Toronto, find cafés, keep only new ones, count who lives around, sort them by population, then email the list to you.

Why it is useful

An opening is only as good as the people around it. This flow shows both together, busiest areas first.

The time it saves

Mondays at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 60 minutes each time; it runs about 4 times a month, so it saves about 4 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 7 blocks.
