Where young professionals rent: co-living sites

What it does

When planning co-living: blocks of your city with the most residents aged 20 to 34 and the most cafes and coworking spaces within 1 km, ranked, with a note by xMap AI.

In one sentence: Monthly on the 1st at 08:00, in Berlin, count who lives around, count the cafes and coworking spaces within 1 km of each, work out new fields, sort them by score and keep the top 20, write a report with xMap AI, then email the list to you.

Why it is useful

Co-living fills where young professionals already live and work. The blocks are ranked.

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.
