Hoodly is built one metro at a time. Every supported city has a hand-tuned data pipeline — foot traffic, transit, business churn, demographics, development pipeline, venues — stitched into the same five-page report format.
City of Toronto Open Data + TTC + StatCan Census 2021 + ~13,000 cafes and restaurants. Pedestrian counts at intersections city-wide.
Open the Toronto map →Same operator network as Toronto. Same provincial regulations. Same census vintage. The natural extension before crossing into other metros. Audit complete across all 24 municipalities.
Lime + Bird GBFS. Heritage 1k+ props. 10/12 confirmed.
GeoHub. Dev apps + libraries + heritage. E-scooter pilot Y3.
Dev apps, wards, parks, heritage districts all confirmed on hub.
85+ datasets. 910+ heritage props. Affluent demo.
Navigate Burlington. GTFS-RT + heritage + parks.
Neighbourhoods, wards, parks confirmed. BRT corridor.
Fastest-growing in Canada. Discover Milton hub.
East-GTA anchor. GO Expansion early works.
Navigate Newmarket claims open ped-counts — verify; could be the only GTA city outside Toronto with this.
Town Data Hub. Parks/trails confirmed.
Light portal. BRT corridor.
Whitby GeoHub; layers need direct browse.
Largest GTA gap: GIS via PLANit interactive viewer, no bulk open data hub.
RH Maps interactive; no confirmed bulk hub.
No ArcGIS hub. Heritage as web map only.
No own transit. Most operational layers absent.
No open data portal at all. MapLinks viewer only.
Low venue density + thin open data. Roll up under regional aggregates if needed, otherwise defer.
After that: open zoning + permitting, an active venue database, accessible census or equivalent demographic data, and a commercial-friendly licence. If your city has those four, we want to know.
We've now audited each candidate against Toronto's 14 data layers. Cities are grouped by how complete their open-data coverage is — pedestrian-volume data is the gating layer for every tier above the last.
Intersection pedestrian counts at 15-min resolution since 2009 (CC BY 4.0), full BIXI feed, STM transit, building permits, RACJ liquor, SDC boundaries. Methodology matches Toronto layer-for-layer.
DOT bi-annual pedestrian counts at 114 mid-block screenlines (Apr 2026 refresh) + MTA hourly ridership as station-level proxy. LPC landmarks DB richer than Toronto's. SLA + DOHMH + DCWP + ZAP all clean.
Open Calgary publishes intersection pedestrian counts, Eco-Counter sensors, 185k+ development permits 2006-25, business licences, 15 BIAs, full GTFS. Heritage layer richer than Toronto's.
13 of 14 layers clean (ABC liquor, LADBS, DOHMH, Metro GTFS + Bike Share, BIDs, HCM, etc.). Pedestrian data thin — 35 scattered permanent counters + biennial manual counts. Will need StreetLight / Replica / Placer feed to ship Toronto-equivalent foot-traffic depth.
HRM Data Hub covers most layers (transit, permits, parks, heritage, BIDs). Pedestrian data is Miovision spot-studies, not continuous — report will frame foot-traffic as "study-period intersection counts." NS Permanent Liquor Licenses available as bulk CSV.
Surprise upside: has an open Seasonal Patios dataset (rare). Permanent count stations exist but skew vehicle-heavy; bicycle-specific stations supplement. Heritage (728 resources), 16 BIZs, food inspections, libraries all clean on data.winnipeg.ca.
14-layer matrix audit not yet completed for these three. Will move into a tier above once the data scan finishes.
Prior signal: ~10 permanent IR pedestrian sensors via OpenDataSoft. Thin grid for a major metro. Full matrix scan pending.
Prior signal: 18 Eco-Counter locations, OGL-Canada. Bundles naturally with Calgary as an Alberta pipeline.
Second-largest Ontario metro. Open-data scope and pedestrian-volume program to be audited.
These three would require either partner-data licences or a fundamentally different product. We're parking them; if a real operator from one of these cities asks via the form below, we'll revisit.
One trail-side pedestrian counter, dev permits paywalled, business licences not published. Path forward requires Downtown BID partnership — different product.
No municipal open-data portal. Only GTFS + StatCan census confirmed; permits are weekly PDFs. Needs green-field data partnership.
No open-data portal. 38k residents in the city / 80k metro — venue universe too thin for a useful report even if data existed.
Tell us where you'd use Hoodly. We read every submission — the cities that come up most often (and from real operators) get prioritized.
