Definitions
Vacant and underutilized classification rule
Vacant means the parcel has no recorded building value. Likely underutilized means the building value is present but low compared with the land value. Active means the building value is above that threshold.
Scoring Guide
How Opportunity Score Works
The opportunity score is a transparent 0-100 triage signal for identifying parcels that may deserve closer review for reuse, acquisition, partnership, or land banking.
Score Method
Opportunity Score Calculation
The score adds points for parcel conditions that suggest stronger public-interest review value. It is not a final development decision; it is a screening tool for prioritizing where to look first.
+42
Vacant, vacant land, or likely underutilized
+18/+10
Larger lot size, with the strongest bump at 0.25 acres or more
+15
No building value or building value below 25% of land value
+8
Assessed value below $250K
+12
Public or nonprofit ownership
+5
Qualified Opportunity Zone flag
Parcel pop-ups, selected parcel records, and full records can show which rules contributed to that specific parcel's score.
Operations Guide
Dashboard Documentation
A practical team guide for finding parcels, interpreting map colors, understanding opportunity classifications, selecting priority sites, and exporting decision-ready results.
01
Start With the Command Palette
Press ⌘K or click Filters in the top bar to open the command palette. Use status, ownership, geography, zoning, and value range controls to narrow the visible parcel universe. All KPIs, charts, and the map update instantly.
02
Understand Utilization Status
Vacant parcels have no recorded building value. Underutilized parcels have some building value, but it is low compared with the land value. Active parcels have stronger building value relative to the land. This method uses county assessment values instead of postal vacancy flags.
03
Navigate the Map
Click any parcel on the map to open its detail popup. Use "Full record" to inspect the available parcel information. Turn on clusters to see nearby priority parcels that may support coordinated development. Zoom in to move from quick point rendering to full parcel shapes.
04
Select and Track Parcels
Check the box beside any high-opportunity parcel in the sidebar list, or use the "Select" button in the popup. Selected parcels persist across filter changes and can be exported independently from the full filtered set.
05
Export and Report
Export all visible parcels as CSV, export only selected parcels, generate a JSON data package, or produce a full HTML report with KPIs, opportunity tables, and current filter conditions. Use the Export dock that appears when parcels are selected.
06
Use the AI Parcel Assistant
Click the AI button to open the intelligent assistant. Ask questions in plain English: "how many vacant parcels?", "show R-3 parcels", "ownership breakdown", "report for nonprofit". The assistant reads the live dataset and answers deterministically — no API key needed.
