Du Analytics Lab

Everything about a site, from one address.

Free tools for planners and developers, built on open data, for sites in Toronto and across Ontario. Choose a site once, then open any tool for it.

Tools

Site Reach How far can you walk, bike and drive from the front door? Open Pedestrian Activity How many people walk past? Open Competitor Density How many similar businesses are nearby? Open Site Constraints Is the site in a floodplain, regulated area, ravine or heritage area? Open Drive-By Visibility How long can approaching drivers see the frontage? Open Demographics Who lives and works around the site, and what can they afford? Open

Where the tools work

Du Analytics Lab is built for Toronto and Ontario. Site Constraints covers the City of Toronto and the TRCA area, Demographics covers Ontario, and Pedestrian Activity's measured counts are the City of Toronto's.

Site Reach, Competitor Density, Drive-By Visibility and the walking-conditions index in Pedestrian Activity read OpenStreetMap, so they also run for an address outside Ontario, without the Toronto and Ontario data. Each tool's page says what it covers and how it works.
