AI-powered crime mapping and neighbourhood intelligence

Real estate professionals lacked granular, real-time neighbourhood risk data at the point of purchase or listing decision. Existing tools were either too broad (city-level) or not Canadian.

The problem

Real estate professionals lacked granular, real-time neighbourhood risk data at the point of purchase or listing decision. Existing tools were either too broad (city-level) or not Canadian.

Our approach

Built real-time ingestion from public crime databases, geospatial indexing, and a machine learning risk scoring model that outputs neighbourhood safety scores at the block level.

The outcome

Live platform serving Canadian real estate professionals and buyers. AI risk scoring operating in real-time across 12 cities.

Architecture & tech decisions

Data pipeline ingests public crime report feeds across 12 Canadian cities. Geospatial indexing with PostGIS. ML risk model trained on historical incident data weighted by recency, type, and proximity. React frontend with Mapbox for the map interface.

Lessons learned

Public crime data quality varies dramatically by municipality. Building a normalization layer that accounts for reporting inconsistencies was the most technically challenging part — and the most important for accuracy.
