Analytical findings on neighborhood dynamics, blight spread, flood exposure, and capital flows — the evidence base behind our commercial products.

Property Values

Assessor Value Surface & Spatial Autocorrelation

217K+ parcels

Are assessed property values randomly distributed across the parcel fabric, or do they cluster spatially? We apply Moran's I and LISA analysis to identify where statistically significant high-value and low-value concentrations form — and what separates them.

Urban Decay

Neighborhood Recovery Regime Analysis

3 distinct regimes

After decades of disinvestment, why do some neighborhoods stabilize while others don't? This analysis examines the structural conditions — ownership patterns, adjudication rates, subsidy dependency — that separate recovering areas from those in prolonged contraction.

Urban Decay

Blight Vector Analysis

Directional spread

Does urban decay diffuse uniformly from distress cores, or does it expand in a predictable direction? We examine the spatial distribution of pre-adjudication parcels near established Low-Low clusters to determine whether active expansion corridors can be mapped in advance.

Physical Risk

Flood Zone Encroachment Projections

30-yr mortgage horizon

FEMA flood zone maps reflect conditions at the time of their last revision — not current ground elevation. Given measurable subsidence rates, which parcels currently outside Zone AE are on trajectory to enter it before a 15- or 30-year obligation matures?

Physical Risk

Ground Subsidence Distribution

Bi-parish coverage

How is vertical ground movement distributed across the MSA — and does the pattern correlate with soil composition, development era, or proximity to infrastructure? We examine the spatial structure of satellite-measured subsidence rates across 203K+ parcels in Caddo and Bossier parishes.

Demographics

Wealth Disparity at Neighborhood Borders

Block-level precision

Census tract data averages incomes across areas too large to reveal the sharpest wealth gradients. We examine the income surface at two resolutions — census block level and H3 dasymetric interpolation — to identify where disparities are most pronounced and how abruptly they transition at neighborhood edges.

Capital Flows

HMDA Lending Geography

Loan-level resolution

Where are mortgage lenders concentrating originations — and where are they not? HMDA data mapped at the parcel level lets us ask whether lending patterns track neighborhood risk profiles, diverge from them, or reinforce the conditions that drive distress.

Market Structure

Neighborhood Micro-Zone Sub-Markets

195 zones identified

Do neighborhoods contain distinct price segments that aggregate statistics obscure? KMeans clustering applied within neighborhood boundaries identifies sub-markets with materially different pricing dynamics — relevant to appraisers, lenders, and investors screening below the neighborhood level.

Urban Decay

Permit Dormancy as Adjudication Predictor

34-yr permit record

Can the sequence of building permit activity — or its absence — predict tax adjudication years before it occurs? We examine whether specific patterns in the permit record, particularly combinations of cap-off permits followed by prolonged silence, correlate with eventual adjudication.

Urban Decay

Blight Pipeline Model

Predictive modeling

Can permit silence, violation escalation, differential assessor value, and spatial clustering be combined into a model that scores parcels by adjudication risk before it happens? Using known adjudicated outcomes as the training set, we are building a classification model to score the full parcel fabric.

Demographics

ACS Migration Flows

Mobility patterns

Where are residents moving within and out of the MSA — and do out-migration flows correlate with areas of active demolition, adjudication, or disinvestment? Census tract-to-tract migration data cross-referenced against the distress layer.

Capital Flows

LIHTC Investment & Permit Trajectory

Subsidy impact

Do LIHTC developments stabilize surrounding permit and property activity, or is investment absorbed without measurable effect on the adjacent parcel fabric? Measuring the before/after permit ratio across the 111 LIHTC placements in the dataset.

Physical Risk

Flood Frequency & Return Periods

Probabilistic risk

How do historically measured flood frequencies at key gauges translate to parcel-level risk across the basin? LP3-fitted probability distributions at five gauge stations, mapped against parcel proximity and ground elevation.

Energy Intelligence

Haynesville-Bossier Shale Intelligence — Platform Architecture

8 operational use cases

What does a unified operational data platform for the Haynesville-Bossier stacked play look like — and which data layers are most constrained in the current market? This research examines the data environment for E&P operations in NW Louisiana and NE Texas: what operators need, what is publicly available, and where the spatial integration gap is largest.

Water Resources

Water Resource Intelligence — Frac Demand & Aquifer Health

3 converging demand vectors

Three independent demand vectors are converging on the same water resources in NW Louisiana simultaneously: Haynesville-Bossier frac completions (10–25M gallons per well), proposed large-scale data centers (1–5M gallons/day cooling), and general MSA growth. This research examines whether existing surface and groundwater resources are measurable, what indicators exist for aquifer stress, and whether a forward-looking water availability product is buildable from public data.

Formation Geology

Formation Target Probability Surface

T4 predictive layer

Given the empirical drilling record and published formation structure maps, where are the remaining high-probability undrilled targets in the Haynesville-Bossier play? This research extends the 3D formation presence test (which parcels overlie the formation column) into a forward-looking probability surface — identifying cells with favorable geology and low drilling density relative to analogous areas elsewhere in the play. Designed for landmen evaluating lease acquisition targets ahead of the next drilling cycle.
