These metrics help investors and analysts answer:
Will people be able to afford the development?
Are there enough households to support retail or services? Is the area under- or oversaturated?
And does your target audience actually live in this location, and if not, where should you look for them?

First step – add the needed data by prompt (e.g., @census or @Kontur).
Once added, start exploring. You can overlay population density, median income, age cohort shifts, and more — all directly on the map. Identify the areas where your target audience resides by income, family composition, or age group.

Step-by-step guide for analyzing demographic data in Aino
1. Address or pin the location.
2. Write a prompt: “add population data and analyze it in a 1 km buffer around the Pin @census” – Aino fetches the data, builds layers, and calculates statistics
3. Then filter the needed data for your project (like areas with high income and high population density) and add layers like buildings, transport accessibility, POIs, parks, and others by prompt
4. Find the “gaps” – ask AI to find them – and enjoy
