TOOL: Amenities and Stakeholder Mapping

Successful neighbourhoods provide a diversity of amenities to support the local needs.

Having a wide offering of local amenities provides increased opportunities to attract local people to visit and stay in the neighbourhood.

Gaps in the amenity mix may indicate areas of improvement or further investment, while strengths may show the main reasons people visit the neighbourhood.

Where does the data come from?

Mobile phone presence data is a vast resource for tracking the way people move through and around a neighbourhood. Careful cleaning and examining makes it possible to reveal the nuances of dwell behaviours across a neighbourhood.

TOOL: Visitation Mapping

Digital presence data is used to determine the ‘home’ location of visitors to the subject neighbourhood and map the surrounding suburbs that local residents visit when the leave the subject neighbourhood. This analysis is undertaken at a catchment of 25km.

Understanding where visitors to a neighbourhood come from can highlight the attractors to a neighbourhood. Understanding where residents go can highlight amenity gaps allowing you to uncover opportunities to strengthen the catchment area or development.

TOOL: Accessibility

By examining the geography that can be reached within a short walk or short drive of the neighbourhood’s centre, you can understand who the people are who are likely to utilise your neighbourhood.

Understanding the age breakdown of your neighbourhood is critical to inform amenity planning. Neighbourhoods that have a higher proportion of pre-school aged children will utilise open spaces differently to those with a higher proportion of high-school aged children. Or neighbourhoods with a lower proportion of working aged residents compared to those of retirement age may rely differently on local community services.

What questions can I answer?

Who are the people that are likely to utilise the neighbourhood?

What is the age breakdown?

Who can access my neighbourhood within a short walk or short drive?

What can residents easily access on foot?

Tapping into unconventional digital sources such as ratings, reviews and social media posts, our lifestyle data can be tracked across time by plotting to velocity of digital interactions month by month.

About our data

We have pioneered a unique data ingestion and computation method to uncover the unique identity of local neighbourhoods, in real time.

PLACES

Point of interest and amenities data is gathered as geo-located places from mapping platforms

The information gathered from these sources is crowd-sourced and includes details like the place name, location, description, opening hours, and type of place. It also includes ratings and reviews, check-ins and likes.

From this we can understand the amenity mix of a location as well as how important individual places are in the neighbourhood.

BEHAVIOUR

Behavioural data is generated from aggregated, anonymised, mobile phone location data.

Location is one of the most accurate predictors of behaviour and a valuable insight into local life. By utilising mobile phone location data generated by app 'pings', our data system recognises nearly 10,000,000 mobile devices every month.

The results are carefully cleaned, checked and thresholded to ensure representative results across Australia.

VALUES

Values data is gathered from the publicly posted 'chatter' across local neighbourhoods.

The local experiences that people choose to post about online, provides an clear insight into what locals value about their lives.

Publicly posted content is gathered from various sources to mitigate bias, and classified into 80+ lifestyle categories to reveal how people love to spend time, how they socialise, and the places the love to spend time.
