Stations worth building homes beside

What it does

Every quarter: train and subway stations in your city, with the people living within 1 km and the shops and schools around, scored by xMap AI for a new apartment project near transit, the best ten mapped.

In one sentence: Monthly on the 1st at 08:00, in Toronto, find train stations and subway stations in the area, count who lives around, count the supermarkets, schools and pharmacies within 1 km of each, score and rank them with xMap AI, sort them by fit score and keep the top 10, then show them on a map and email the list to you.

Why it is useful

Homes near a station sell and let faster. The score shows which stations have the people and the daily shops around them.

Who it is for

The time it saves

Monthly on the 1st at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 120 minutes each time; it runs about 1 time a month, so it saves about 2 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 9 blocks.
