Maptimum provides reports with detailed data and analysis on various aspects of a neighborhood to help you evaluate if the area aligns with your preferences. Whether you have a shortlist of houses or are exploring a bunch of neighborhoods in an unfamiliar city, you can generate reports for your options, compare their strengths and weaknesses, and make an informed decision.
Maptimum reports include scores such as the Desirability Score and the Bang for the Buck Score to simplify your decision-making. The Desirability Score, ranging from 0 to 100, measures how closely a neighborhood's characteristics match those of an ideal location. A higher score indicates a better neighborhood. The Bang for the Buck Score assesses the value you get for the median house cost in the area. If this index is above one, the neighborhood offers great value; if below one, it may be overpriced. These scores help you make the right decision when you face analysis paralysis.

Your choice depends on your preference. A small radius provides detailed information about the immediate vicinity of the address, while a larger radius covers the broader area. A good question to ask is, "How far out from my home is relevant to my daily life?" Typically, a 1.00-mile radius offers a good balance.
Maptimum sources data from multiple government agencies and trusted third parties, including, but not limited to, the US Census Bureau, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the United States Geological Survey (USGS), OpenWeatherMap, and Walk Score.
