Spatial Features (Global, Quadgrid 15 & 18)

Spatial Features is a dataset curated by CARTO providing access to a set of location-based features with global coverage that have been unified in a common geographic supports (eg. Quadgrid).

This product has been specially designed to facilitate spatial modeling at scale. Spatial Features includes core demographic data and POI aggregations by category that have been generated by processing and unifying globally available sources such as Worldpop and OpenStreetMap. The current version of this product is available in two different spatial aggregations: Quadgrid level 15 (with grid cells of approximately 1x1km) and Quadgrid level 18 (with grid cells of approximately 100x100m).

In future releases of this dataset, we will incorporate new spatial features such as elevation, urbanity levels, and different spatial lags.

• Total Population
• Population by gender
• Population by age
• Points of Interest by category (retail, transportation, tourism, healthcare, etc.)

You can check these datasets metadata and dictionary in CARTO’s Spatial Data Catalog:

Incorporate geospatial signals into your revenue prediction model by enriching the trade areas of each of your stores with CARTO Spatial Features to characterise each of them based on the demographics and points of interest surrounding them. Understand how the different spatial features impact your sales across your business footprint and use them to predict your sales potential in parts of the territory where you do not have presence. How do your sales per store vary depending on the age and gender of the population surrounding them? Do you sell more when your stores are located near tourism attractions? How much more?

From smartphones to connected cars, location data is changing the way we live and the way we run businesses. Everything happens somewhere, but visualizing data to see where things are isn’t the same as understanding why they happen there. CARTO is the world’s leading Location Intelligence platform, enabling organizations to use spatial data and analysis for more efficient delivery routes, better behavioral marketing, strategic store placements, and much more.

Data Scientists, Developers and Analysts use CARTO to optimize business processes, and predict future outcomes through the power of Spatial Data Science.
