In this section you are going to find all the definitions for the Location Data Packs we offer.
In principle each pack listed below is available as a standalone item or in combination with others.
🗾 All Location packages contain a set of data where the minimum detail is one geometry. The granularity of the Location data is defined by a geospatial standard created by Microsoft and open sourced, called Bing tiles. You can find the documentation here – typically we deliver the data at tile 15 granularity, which means it’s about 1000×1000 meters size but we could reach 150×150 with no extra costs. Each tile corresponds to a geometry
🔑 All Location packages use the
geometry_id field as a key to link the different files therefore a basic package that includes the geometry_id is always needed to act as a link between the different data points. This means that the Core Attributes file is always included in all deliveries. The general structure of our Location Data Packs is as follows:
Basic Packages
These packages allow you to have a basic list of geometries with potentially some enriched information attached to each individual item.
Package Name | Description | Example Use Case | Fields Definitions |
Core Attributes | This file contains basic location information that are useful to perform simple analyses. | Understand how industries are distributed in a defined location | |
Rich Attributes | This file contains more information around the location such as the Popularity or the Sentiment. | I want to complement my Core data with additional information around the specified location. | |
Accommodation Focus | Only available for the Hospitality and Short Term Rentals Industry this files adds to each geometry information around the travellers staying in the different establishments. | I want to know the origin of people staying in a certain neighbourhood within the defined location. |
Add on Packages
These additional files allow you to complement the geometry information you’ve obtained in the previous iteration with some extra details.

Sentiment Trend | This file contains the Sentiment Score of a certain location sampled over time. You can select both how long you want the data to be available in the past and also how frequently you want the data to be sampled. | I want to know how well perceived are neighbourhoods in a certain region. I also want to know if this is increasing over time using data sampled every week for the past 24 months. | |
Popularity Trend | Similarly this file provides Popularity information of a certain location tracked over time. The Popularity Score here represents a proxy for the number of people visiting the location’s geometries in the unit of time.
More info about the Popularity Index here. | I want an estimate of how popular a certain neighbourhood is. |
