We app and heat maps

Purpose:

Create a web-app that will house dynamic multi-layered heat maps which will show all of the venues, events, average median income, and vibrancy in a given area. Seeing the intensity coupled with where they overlap on the map.


Four heat maps:

First map:

All venues in a given area such as restaurants/bars, grocery stores, convenient stores etc..(this one will be similar to Walk Score’s heatmap)

Second map:

All organized events such as concerts, conferences, sporting events, expo’s, citywide events etc.. in a given area.

Third map:

The vibrancy of a given area(this will track the average volume of people in an area (picture Google’s popular times on a macro level))

Fourth map:

Average median income map

Combined map:

Layering these maps on top of each other to see where they overlap depending on specific criteria.


Technical Features:

Location Lookup

A toggle view for each map

Opacity option slider

Hover data point feature


Step two:

The ability to go back over a specified amount of time. The purpose of this is to see growth for each metric in an area over that given amount of time.


Step three:

Create a predictive algorithm based off of past data to predict what a given area will look like in the coming years.
