The journey to finding your perfect home can be both exciting and daunting. Especially when relocating, having the right information at your fingertips makes all the difference. What if there was a way to visualize key data about neighborhoods, schools, safety, and housing costs all in one place? Welcome to MustWants’ Visual Data Analysis tools — a powerful set of interactive maps designed to help you make informed and confident decisions for your next move.
Why Visual Data Analysis is a Game-Changer for Home Buyers
Packed with rich insights and easy-to-understand visuals, MustWants’ Visual Data Analysis maps empower you to explore neighborhoods from every angle. Whether you're a military family preparing for a PCS or a civilian buyer scouting for the best spot, these tools bring crucial details to life right on your screen. Instead of relying solely on vague descriptions, brochures, or generic statistics, you get an at-a-glance data-driven overview of what really matters.
These maps aren’t just about location; they provide a comprehensive picture including housing prices, school options, walkability, safety, and environmental risks. Imagine knowing the median home values, available housing allowances, nearby schools, crime rates, and FEMA risk scores, tailored to your area of interest. This knowledge equips you to weigh pros and cons efficiently and prioritize what matters most to you and your family.
MustWants developed these resources with military families in mind but designed them for anyone looking for that perfect home environment. Real estate decisions become less overwhelming and more strategic, thanks to the power of visualized data.
Spotlight on MustWants’ Visual Data Analysis Maps
Here’s a closer look at some of the essential maps offered through MustWants’ platform and how you can use them to your best advantage:
Housing Data Map for Military Families
Unique to MustWants, this interactive map highlights data most relevant to military buyers, including median home values and area wealth percentiles. It also shows the housing allowances for military personnel with or without dependents. The map overlays the locations of military installations by service branch in each state, making it simple to find affordable housing options near bases. Whether you’re PCSing or relocating, this tool helps balance budget considerations with proximity needs.
Schools Map Around Military Bases
Schools are often at the top of the priority list for families with children. With this map, users can select a specific military installation and explore detailed information about the schools in the surrounding zip codes. It’s a convenient way to compare education options and pick neighborhoods that offer the school quality you expect for your kids.
Walkability Map
How easy is it to get around on foot in your prospective neighborhood? The walkability map scores different areas based on proximity to amenities, commuting options, and general pedestrian friendliness. If a community where you can walk to shops, parks, and services is important, this map brings that element front and center.
Crime Statistics Map
Safety is paramount when choosing a home. This map provides crime rates and statistics across various locations, helping you assess neighborhood security objectively. It’s comforting to know whether an area is considered safe before committing to a purchase or rental.
FEMA Risk Index 2023
Natural and environmental risks can affect your property's long-term value and your family's safety. MustWants integrates the latest FEMA risk analysis scores, including flood, wildfire, and other hazard risks, at both county and census tract levels.
