Why drive time beats a circle

Customers do not travel in straight lines. A circle drawn around a site on a bay counts the water; one drawn next to an interstate counts neighborhoods on the far side with no exit between them. A drive-time area follows the roads people actually use, so it stretches along fast corridors and pulls in where streets dead-end.

That makes it the better answer to the question a store owner is asking: how many people can get to my door in the time they are willing to spend.

How the drive time is measured

Each area comes from the Mapbox Isochrone API, driving with typical traffic on a Wednesday at noon, away from both rush hours. The time is fixed on purpose: the same address returns the same area whenever anyone checks it, so two people looking at one site see the same numbers.

Subscribers can set each drive time from 2 to 35 minutes.

Questions

Everywhere you can reach by car from the address within a set number of minutes, following real roads. Planners call it an isochrone. The numbers in the table describe the people and homes inside it.
5, 10 and 15 minutes cover most local businesses. A convenience store draws from a few minutes, a restaurant from five to ten, a salon from about ten, and a big-box store or a specialist clinic from twenty or more. Rural sites need longer drives than urban ones for the same number of people.
Because roads are not. The area reaches further along highways and main roads and stops short at water, rail lines and neighborhoods without through streets.
Yes. Without an account you get 5 different addresses, then one new address a day, and checking an address you already looked up again costs nothing. Population, median income, median age, population density and a few more indicators are open to everyone; a free account opens more. A subscription opens every indicator, removes the address limit, lets you set your own ring sizes and adds CSV export.
The US Census Bureau's American Community Survey five-year estimates for people, income, housing and work, CDC and County Health Rankings for health, EPA air quality data, and OpenStreetMap for places. Census figures are published for block groups and tracts, not for circles or drive times, so each ring is computed from the census areas it overlaps. The same method runs for every address, which keeps two sites comparable.
Subscribers can download the whole table as a CSV file: every indicator for all three rings, the county and the state, with the address and ring sizes in the header. It opens in Excel and Google Sheets.
