Nestoria Fans!
As you know from
recent posts, lately we’ve been thinking a lot about the mountain of data the Nestoria search engine generates. We’ve had a bit of feedback that bar charts and pie graphs might not be the most interesting way to represent geographic data (Steve, we hear you – maps are cool).
We hope to unveil some interesting ways to look at and draw conclusions for the data in due time. Nevertheless, here’s a bit of a teaser we whipped up today by overlaying our database of half a million homes for sale on a plot of the UK:
At a glance we can see our database corresponds very nicely with UK population density.
In England
properties in Central London clearly has the highest density, but we also have excellent coverage throughout the south east and in all major cities like
(properties in) Birmingham,
(properties in) Liverpool,
(properties in) Leeds,
(properties) in Newcastle, and
(properties in) Portsmouth
In Northern Ireland
(properties in) Belfast is easily visible. In Wales, major cities like
(properties in) Cardiff and
(properties in) Swansea stand out against the relative spareness of the center.
We can clearly see the nice density in major Scottish cities like
(properties in) Glasgow,
(properites in) Edinburgh, and
(properties in) Dundee, contrasting with the blissful isolation of
(properties in) the Highlands
Maps are fun.
