How is a radius measured?

As a straight-line circle around the address you enter, the way GIS tools and commercial real estate reports draw ring trade areas. Every number in the table describes the people and homes inside that circle.

Which radius should I use?

Start with 1, 3 and 5 miles and read them together. A coffee shop or a convenience store lives on the first mile; a grocery store or a clinic on three; a furniture store or a gym on five and beyond. Subscribers can set each ring anywhere from 0.25 mi to 15 mi.

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.

Where does the data come from?

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.

Can I export the numbers?

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.

Income index Income, employment, homeownership, cost of living and population growth.
Education index Educational attainment and the quality of local schools, universities and child care.
Places nearby Counted from OpenStreetMap, which volunteers map and keep up to date, so treat these as a baseline for comparing rings rather than an exact count of every business. There is no county or state figure.

Why 1, 3 and 5 miles

It is the format commercial real estate already speaks. Listing flyers, offering memorandums and lender packages quote a 1-3-5 mile table, so a tenant or a lender can line your site up against the last ten they saw without converting anything.

The 1-mile ring is the walk-in neighborhood, 3 miles is the short errand, and 5 miles is the wider market most destination businesses still draw from. Reading the three side by side also tells you which way the area changes: incomes that rise as the rings widen mean the money is around the site rather than at it.

Radius or drive time

A radius is a straight-line circle. It is quick, the same for every site and easy to compare, which is why reports use it. It ignores roads, so near a river, a highway or a coastline it can count people who would need half an hour to reach you.

When the question is who can actually get to the door, use drive time instead: it follows real roads at typical traffic.
