Terrane Location DNA
How the surroundings of this address serve eight ways of living, built only from public map data: the places mapped nearby, the land around it and the transit that runs here. Where the data isn’t there, we say so.
Build a Lifestyle DNA and Terrane will show how closely this location matches the life you described, using only what public map data can show.
Location Lifestyle DNA
Each score is the share of a lifestyle’s priorities that the surroundings satisfy, out of the priorities that could be assessed. Tap a lifestyle to see every group, its weight and the mapped facts behind it.
Nearby, as the crow flies
Straight-line distances from the address, not routes.
How this works: every score describes the location only — the places mapped around the address, the land cover and the transit schedules — never the home’s interior, its price or the listing’s description. Places and streets come from OpenStreetMap around the address as placed by the U.S. Census Bureau geocoder; land cover from the NJDEP Land Use/Land Cover 2020 dataset; schedules from NJ TRANSIT and PATH developer data (not real-time; schedules change); modelled transportation noise from the USDOT BTS National Transportation Noise Map 2020 and traffic counts from NJDOT Annual Average Daily Traffic; public school district results from the NJ Department of Education School Performance Reports (2024-25), matched to the address through the NJ Office of GIS school district boundaries — OpenStreetMap as of 2026-10-31; schedules: NJ TRANSIT 2026-09-17; NJ TRANSIT 2026-10-21; PATH 2025-06-06 (last published schedule). Distances are straight-line, and a place missing from the map may still exist. A score appears only when at least half of a lifestyle’s priorities can be assessed. Not a valuation, and a guide for your conversation with your advisor, not a guarantee. Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL.
